[Bug 1687637] Re: Kubuntu installer crashes when checking format box

[jarrod]

sadly it turns out im not allowed to have another OS since its a work pc
so i found a way to get around it since ubuntu doesen't want to fix it

Boot live session > open "kde partition manager"
format the drive/s you wish to use and leave them unformatted
you can now add the partitions in the installer and the drive/s are already formatted

by default it will check the box to format when you add the new
partition which does not cause a problem/crash.

Title:
  Kubuntu installer crashes when checking format box

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When trying to install Kubuntu, checking the "Format" box in the
  installer for a partition causes this crash:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde_components/PartitionModel.py", line 66, in setData
      item.partman_column_format_toggled(value.toBool())
  AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'toBool'

  Choosing a partition, clicking "change" and choosing the format option
  in the appearing dialogue box does not cause the crash.

  Result of lsb_release -rd:
