[Bug 938334] [NEW] Crash during user creation in 11.04 install

[Perry Bhandal]

Public bug reported:

I've encountered this bug three consecutive times. While installing
11.04, the installer starts up, I configure my location, manually
partition my drive and press submit. While my partitions are being
created and configured, ubiquity crashes.

The system I'm installing 11.04 on was previously running 11.10. All
partitioned drives are set to be formatted. My partition breakdown is as
follows:

/dev/sdb - 160 gig SSD
/dev/sdb1 - All space on sdb is allocated to this ext4 primary partition. Starts at beginning of drive. Its mount point is /.

/dev/sdc - 1 terabyte SATA
/dev/sdc1 - 950 gigs allocated to this ext4 logical partition. Mount point is /home.
/dev/sdc2 - 50 gigs allocated to swap.

I've encountered this bug three consecutive times. The first two
incidents occurred while installing from cd, and the final incident
occurred while installing from a usb key. I downloaded the ISO again
prior to writing it to the usb key in case my first download was
incomplete, corrupt, etc.

I used the AMD64 desktop iso during install, which can be found here:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/

Both my syslog and partman logs have been attached as requested.

Thanks.
