After I took the above screenshot of the "just-before-crash" screen, I clicked forward, deleted the hda3 and hda4 partitions, recreated them exactly as they were before (in the screenshot), clicked "Forward" and the installation is proceeding normally.
Wierd. The first time, in the "next" screen, I could see "unknown" for hda3 and hda4. This time, they were shown as "linux-swap" and "ext3" as they should have been the first time too. Why this happened when I started Ubiquity up the second time is puzzling. Also, the first time, I tried to re-format the "unknown" (Colour coded with black borders in the partitioner) hda3 and hda4 partitions and was served a warning "You can only have 4 primary partitions." I already know that, and I was just trying to make "unknown" partitions into known linux-swap and ext3 partitions. All in all, the first time I tried to install, Ubiquity failed to format the linux-swap and ext3 partitions and later crashed. Installation is nowin progress. I will try and upload the logs after it is complete. -- Dapper Installer failed with Key Error: hda4 https://launchpad.net/bugs/56668 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
