Title:
  Installation of 13.04 from live-usb denied (ubiquity / partman  error
  141)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Date: 2013-may-11

  I'm trying to install Kubuntu 13.04 on a Dell-Vostro 3560-1792 (core I7, AMD/Intel-Graphics, HD1=500GB, HD2=32 GB SSD).
  After the "Prepare"-form, when partman is being started, ubiquity reports :

  "ubi-partman failed with exit code 141".

  System: Live-USB of Kubuntu 13.04. 
  lsb_release reports: "Ubuntu 13.04, release 13.04".

  apt-cache policy ubiquity:
  ubiquity:
    installed:           2.14.8
    candidate: 		2.14.8
    versiontable:

  Uname: Linux kubuntu 3.8.0-19-generic

  
  I've set up the bios to "ATA-Harddisk-Mode", so the SSD won't be used for a "fake RAID-0", and did a partitioning with the live-usb (kubuntu 13.04) like this:

  /dev/sda ( ATA WDC WD5000BPKT-7, 500 GB) :
  No.       Size              Type                File system     Flags
  1        41.1MB           primary         fat16               diag
  2       10.7GB             primary         linux-swap(v1)
  3        162GB             primary         ext3
  4         328GB            primary         ntfs                 boot

  /dev/sdb (ATA SAMSUNG SSD PM83, 32 GB)
  No.    Size         Type           File system    Flags
  1       32.0GB    primary      ext4

  I installed Windows 7 on /dev/sda4, which worked fine.

  Since bug #1080701 was fixed in version 2.14.18, it should be a different problem.
  Mounting all partitions before executing ubiquity doesn't change anything. 

  Apart from partman-log and sys-log I will upload the report of "boot-
  repair" (http://paste.ubuntu.com/5655905/).
