I may have found the solution. The default disk size for Ubuntu VMs in VirtualBox is 8 GB, which seems to be on the low side. Apparently the Kubuntu installer can't deal with that restriction. (Making half of it an unnecessary swap partition on the first round is clearly a symptom of this problem!) I have now been successful with a 30 GB disk, while everything else was the same.
To the extent that there is a bug, it appears to be that the Kubuntu installer may fail in a non-constructive way on an 8 GB disk. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1477217 Title: Crash while trying to install Kubuntu in VirtualBox vm.
