Title:
  Natty installation failed

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is filed on behalf of someone who wrote into
  feedback at launchpad.net (see
  https://support.one.ubuntu.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=4117).

  """
  To whom it may concern:
  I couldn't log into Launchpad. I was trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty
  Narwhal) onto a Dell Latitude D610, and the installation stopped just before
  the end, and told me to send these 2 files to
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug.
  /var/log/syslog
  and
  /var/log/partman
  So this is the best I can do.
  Sincerely,
  (Ms.) T. L. Haworth
