After a couple more of the same crash messages, I used a GParted disk (iso from CNET) and switched FAT32 to ext4 and pre-set partitions used fror Linux Mint primary and logical.
http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html & http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/06/02/manual-disk-partitioning-guide-for- linux-mint-11/ After that formatting and partitioning first the installation ran as expected without any additional problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/889714 Title: gtkwidgets.py line 398 argument 1must be string. not None To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/889714/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
