Title:
  mythbuntu installer crashes near the end

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm not sure if this is the same bug as #98827 or not. I've tried two
  installs today and it happened at the same spot each time--right
  toward the end of the process. (I'm submitting this from Chromium on
  the machine itself: Lenovo T61.)

  The first time, I'd removed the hard drive and plugged in an external
  USB drive, installing from DVD to the whole drive (no manual
  partitioning). I chose "NVidia" for the graphics driver, rather than
  "Open Source", and agreed to download updates during install. After
  rebooting, it wouldn't boot from the external drive, though I suppose
  that could be a BIOS thing.

  The second time, I put the main hard drive back in and made space for
  Linux (one extended volume containing 6GB swap followed by 160GB or so
  for root, ext4). I again chose NVidia, but this time I opted not to
  download updates yet.

  We'll see if it's bootable this time.
