  I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1 on my desktop from a USB flash drive created using unetbootin.
  I can use everything in the live environment ok but when it comes to installing the install crashes when gparted tried to run. When running it from the terminal i get the following:

  ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo gparted
