Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

1) 10.04 and 10.10beta (daily build of 30/09), 64-bit
2) ubiquity 2.4.4
3) expected it works
4) it doesn't

When I launch Live Ubuntu (try without installing on your computer) from a 
memory stick,
fdisk -l shows correctly all available disks:

sda - memory stick
sdb - built-in memory module
sdc - ExpressCard/34 64GB SSD (Verbatim)

My intention is to use the whole SSD for Linux, sda contains Live Ubuntu 64, 
created with unetbootin
on an up-to-date U10.04 (64).

When I click on the "Install Ubuntu" icon (or launch it as a sudo from the 
commant line),
it hangs indefinitely after "set your time zone"

When I choose the option "install" during the boot, it hangs showing
"Preparing to install Ubuntu".

fdisk -l does not see the sdc SSD, only sda and sdb above.

I am attaching /var/log/syslog

This report is filed from another computer (so ignore the automatically
collected stuff).

Besides, the ubuntu-bug utility is very buggy itself:

1) you need to be a superuser to file a bug, otherwise it crashes with access 
complaints
2) it needs a browser, so I cannot report this bug from the failed computer (it 
does not have
    the browser installed yet)
