Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 6.06 distribution. I had pre-partitioned the disk, and installed
Ubuntu 5.10 on it by mistake (mislabeled CD). Partitions are:
1 NTFS
2 /
3 swap
(4 extended)
5 /usr
6 /tmp
7 /var
8 /home
The installer finds all of these correctly, although it doesn't seem to
have access to their labels (assigned with PartitionMagic).
/var/log/installer/version says "ubiquity 1.0.12".
/var/log/installer/syslog is too large to copy by hand, and since the
network hasn't been configured yet, I can't FTP it to another machine.
The last few lines are:

Exception in GTK frontend (invoking crash handler):
<<traceback as below>>
Here's the contents of the error window:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 696,
in on_next_clicked
gtk.main_quit()
RuntimeError: called outside of a mainloop
The "Installer crashed" window overlays most of a window labeled
"Prepare mount points", and what I can see of it seems to suggest that
the installer was close to asking me how to map the partitions to mount
points.
I've run the install process 3 times, with the same result each time.
Since 5.10 doesn't have a driver that works with the Radeon RS480, if I
can't get 6.06 installed, my brand-new laptop is a boat anchor. Please
treat this as serious. Thanks.
