Looking at syslog we see the following:

Feb  7 19:23:44 mythbuntu ubiquity[7175]: Ubiquity 2.10.26
Feb  7 19:23:45 mythbuntu ubiquity[7175]: log-output -t ubiquity laptop-detect

Feb  7 19:24:14 mythbuntu ubiquity[7175]: Ubiquity 2.10.29

I suspect that ubiquity is getting updated and it then needs the latest
version of python-apt which is not installed.  See further the fix for
bug 1051935.

** Description changed:

+ Workaround:
+ 
+ Boot and choose try Ubuntu.  Then run 'sudo apt-get update', 'sudo apt-
+ get install python-apt' in a terminal, before starting ubiquity.
+ 
  I booted off of MythBuntu LiveCD to install on HDD. I selected all
  options for remote access, all add-ons and third party repositories, and
  option for Remote Control via Hauppauge TV Card (I know the Hauppauge
  WinTV-HVR-2250 is supported but it's not yet available in the drop-down
  list so I selected generic Hauppauge TV Card option). About 10 minutes
  into the install it just crashes with the same thing each time. I also
  tried rebooting computer and trying install process again.
