I suspect that ubiquity is getting updated and it then needs the latest version of python-apt which is not installed. See further the fix for bug 1051935. ** Description changed: + Workaround: + + Boot and choose try Ubuntu. Then run 'sudo apt-get update', 'sudo apt- + get install python-apt' in a terminal, before starting ubiquity. + I booted off of MythBuntu LiveCD to install on HDD. I selected all options for remote access, all add-ons and third party repositories, and option for Remote Control via Hauppauge TV Card (I know the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 is supported but it's not yet available in the drop-down list so I selected generic Hauppauge TV Card option). About 10 minutes into the install it just crashes with the same thing each time. I also tried rebooting computer and trying install process again. - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 + ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: ubiquity 2.10.29 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-29.42~precise1-generic 3.8.13.5 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-29-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.4 Architecture: i386 CasperVersion: 1.315.1 Date: Fri Feb 7 16:13:25 2014 InstallCmdLine: file=/cdrom/preseed/mythbuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash -- maybe-ubiquity LiveMediaBuild: Mythbuntu 12.04.3 "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386 (20130820) MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: - TERM=unknown - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: ubiquity + TERM=unknown + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bashSourcePackage: ubiquity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Description changed: - Workaround: + WORKAROUND: Boot and choose try Ubuntu.
