Title:
  ubiquity crashed while installing Ubuntu

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using the daily 64 bit image from Feb. 27, 2014, I tried installing
  Ubuntu today from a USB stick to the secondary partition of my
  laptop's SSD.

  Since I needed to install it to the secondary partition, I chose
  'custom install'. I selected sda2 as the root partition, chose not to
  format it as it had already been formatted (with ext4) and I wanted to
  keep the disk label intact. I then got a warning that I didn't have a
  swap partition. But since I have 8GB RAM and do not use hibernate, I
  decided to continue.

  I selected 'Download updates while installing' and 'Download 3rd party
  software'.

  Somewhere along the installation, while I was clicking through the
  slide show, ubiquity crashed.
