In my case xfs and ntfs had nothing to do with the bug. It had everything to do with trying to use an old /var partition. For some reason the installer only wants to work on cleanly formatted system partitions like '/', and '/var'.
In my case I was trying to reuse an old '/var' (which had my web pages inside /var/www), and kubuntu would have none of it. So I used a different idle partition as a new '/var', and formatted it, and it worked. That was the only thing that changed between it not working and then beginning to work. -- Installer crashed (xfs related?) https://launchpad.net/bugs/49178 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
