[Bug 873239] [NEW] Linux Mint live DVD installer crashes on Dell Inspiron 6000

[hasan alsancak]

Public bug reported:

I am trying to install 32bit Linux Mint 11 Katya from the live dvd on a Dell Inspiron 6000.
Installer can start for the first time, and lets me choose language (turkish). After choosing language and hitting the next button, installer crashes refferring to this error:
"ubiquity[3565]: TypeError: Gtk.Label.set_text() argument 1 must be string, not None"

and the next time i try to start the installer, it crashes immediately with this line in the crash message:
"ubiquity[4741]: IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe"

(i couldn't save the entire crash dialogues but i think these lines from
syslog can be enough pointing to the error.)

i have the /var/log/syslog attached.

[oh by the way i created a live usb with the program "LiveUSB install"
using the same .iso and succesfully installed Mint without booting in
the live system by choosing "install Linux Mint" option in the boot
menu. ]
