I too have four primary partitions and had the some problem trying to install Lubuntu. In the end I tried ubuntu-10.10-netbook. It installed correctly, allowed me to allocate and format the extended partition (into / and /home), and once that was done I was able to install Lubuntu.
(Note that trying Natty kicked up the same "ubi-partman" error.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/757720 Title: ubi-partman crashes with exit code 141 during live install -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
