[Bug 885842] [NEW] KeyError: 'method_choices' when configuring btrfs partitions

[Blair Zajac]

Public bug reported:

Doing a fresh kubuntu precise install with the following setup:

VirtualBox 4.0.14
/dev/sda 32 GB
  /dev/sda1 384 MB btrfs
  /dev/sda2 2 GB swap
  /dev/sda3 max btrfs
/dev/sdb 32 GB
  /dev/sda1 384 MB btrfs
  /dev/sda2 2 GB swap
  /dev/sda3 max btrfs

I would jump into a shell, run fdisk and then create the partitions then
format them:

mkfs.btrfs -d raid1 -m raid1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
mkfs.btrfs -d raid1 -m raid1 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3

Then launching the installer and trying to configure the installer to
use /dev/sda1 for /boot and /dev/sda3 for / gets the following error.  I
leave /dev/sdb* alone but btrfs will mirror the data there.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde_components/PartMan.py", line 429, in on_edit_clicked
    self.partman_edit_dialog(devpart, partition)
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde_components/PartMan.py", line 271, in partman_edit_dialog
    for script, arg, option in partition['method_choices']:
KeyError: 'method_choices'
