Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gparted

  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

  (gpartedbin:7282): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `gtkmm__GtkTextBuffer'

  As I cannot run gparted i cant install ubuntu to my hard drive so im
  stuck in the live environment.
