Title:
  Desktop installer 11.04 amd64 crashes

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I tried to install with the Desktop installer 11.04 amd64 (downloaded
  3 May 2011 from Ubuntu torrent) next to Windows 7 with the option to
  share all data to Ubuntu. Chosen options: English language, Copenhagen
  timezone, Danish keyboard and using a 20 GB empty partition besides
  the 108 GB Windows 7 NTFS partition. It keeps crashing during the
  installation.

  I have copied /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman into a single file,
  since the bug reporting system can seemingly only attach one
  attachment. I think it might be easier for everyone if you enabled
  multiple attachments  :-)
