[Bug 930676] Re: Ubiquity quits when starting migration-assistent

[Pjotr12345]

I didn't select anything for migration yet; migration-assistant quits
*before* offering me migration options....

But I think I may have found the cause for the failure: on my multi-boot
laptop, sda4 is a FreeBSD partition (there's PC-BSD on it), with FreeBSD
format. Apparently migration-assistant can't cope with that?

There is still one unexplained ubiquity bug left, though: the Desktop CD
doesn't offer a normal boot screen. See the attached screenshot. This is
quite unrelated to migration-assistant, of course.

Title:
  Ubiquity quits when starting migration-assistent

Status in “migration-assistant” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin (or 11.10 Oneiric
  Ocelot) with the Desktop CD, installation is aborted when starting
  migration-assistant.

  This may have something to do with EFI, because the Ubuntu Desktop CD
  fails to show a normal boot screen as well (just a very basic option
  screen). The only way that I can succesfully complete an install, is
  by means of the Alternate CD.

  I have attached a tarball with the following files:
  - syslog
  - hardware list
  - screenshots
