** Description changed:
+ Ubiquity is attempting to use x86 specific methods such as
+ grub_default() in ubi-partman, which will not work on platforms that do
+ not use GRUB as a bootloade r (such as ARM or PowerPC). This causes the
+ installer to segfault and crash.
+
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 1. Boot a live image on non-x86
+ 2. Start ubiquity
+ 3. Try and do automatic or manual partitioning.
+
+ Original Bug Report:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Had to run ubiquity manually as there is no icon on the UNE Dove image.
Failure occurred when trying to select manual partitioning. Selector
for manual vs automatic partitioning comes up before drive selection
screen.
