Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity-frontend-kde
Running kubuntu-7.04-beta-desktop-i386.iso (beta 3), booted LiveCD in
VMware Player.
After Kubuntu has booted, start the installer using desktop icon.
* Step 1 (select English)
* Step 2 (select Melbourne, Australia)
* Step 3 (select US English, US English)
(the above steps don't appear important, that's just what I did)
* Step 4: Select manual partitioning
-> Delete all partitions, one by one. (I already had a 10 Gb ext3
partition and 2 Gb swap partition. I deleted these starting with the
swap, then the ext3).
-> Click on "New partition".
-> Enter some valid values at the "New partition" dialog box (I did
"Primary, 50 Mb, Beginning, fat32, /boot". Values don't appear important
to replicate this crash), and click OK. After dialog closes, DO NOT
SELECT 'free space' in list box.
-> Click **directly** on 'New partition' -> installer crashes with
message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 1934, in
on_partition_list_new_activate
index = selected[0]
IndexError: list index out of range
This crash appears to only occur if "New partition" is clicked when
nothing is selected in the partition list box.
Looks like this line / region of code needs to be wrapped with try /
except statements to catch the possibility that nothing is selected in
the partition list box.
** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
