"Installer Crashed" report when selecting "Manually edit partition table"

syslog log (using : ESPRESSO_DEBUG=1 sudo espresso)

Thanks; I've committed a fix which will be in the next upload.

ubiquity (0.99.75) dapper; urgency=low

  * KDE frontend:
    - Fix resize slider handling in autopartitioner (closes: Malone #43015).
    - Fix handling of disk selections (closes: Malone #43125).
  * When committing the results of manual partitioning, tell partman to run
    update.d scripts before asking the confirmation question, rather than
    trying to run them ourselves and doing it wrong (closes: Malone #37872).
  * GTK frontend:
    - Allow deselecting mount points in manual partitioner.
  * Hide mount point errors after successful manual partitioning, to make
    sure that they don't appear if you go back from the summary page.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: partman-base
    78ubuntu4.

Is there any way to patch ubiquity without downloading and burning another
install CD?

From beta 2 or thereabouts:

  apt-get update
  apt-get remove ubuntu-live
  apt-get install ubiquity ubiquity-frontend-kde ubiquity-ubuntu-artwork

(ubiquity-ubuntu-doc will be removed; that's OK)

This requires somewhat more memory than a fresh CD, though.

One might consider updating to 8.x?

I tried to install ubuntu to a specific partition, but no root system error. Tried to do msdos but still got no root system specified.
