Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
When first going into screen 7 ("How do you want to configure your disk
space?"), the installer announces that it's attempting to launch a
partitioning program, hangs for a few seconds, then crashes. If it
helps, I'm trying to install xubuntu Herd 2 onto a dual-booting machine,
that already has xubuntu 6.10 on it, with /home/ on a reiser partition
and everything else (i.e. /) on an XFS partition (I'd lilke to keep
/home and re-format and install into the XFS partition where / currently
lives).
Here's the trackback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 185, in ?

File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 180, in main

choice = self.get_autopartition_choice()[0]
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 1620, in
get_autopartition_choice
raise AssertionError, "no active autopartitioning choice"
AssertionError: no active autopartitioning choice
I notice in the above the mentioning of autopartitioning; it may be
pertinent to note that at no point does it ask me if I want to
autopartition, or set my partitions up manually, or any of the other
usual choices: it just launches right into the partitioning tool.
