I had managed to install using an automatic partitioning after doing this. Running the installer again but clicking "Cancel" after I have set up a pretend partition over my old swap partition so not to write the changes this time led to the same error as in my first report.
Before doing this I ran the commands apt-get update apt-get install ubiquity Which pulled down the latest version and a few dependancies Some other info in case this is relevent: I'm booting with noapic apci=off If I think of anything else I'll add more -- Crashed when trying to put in mountpoint in partitioner https://launchpad.net/bugs/89458 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
