Title:
  Installer (ubiquity) crashed while changing partition layout

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I tested the Live CD "Kubuntu 10.4 Alpha 1". During the "Disk Setup"
  step I chose to manually setup the layout. I selected a partition,
  clicked on change and selected it to be an ext4 parition, to be
  mounted as "/" and checked the checkbox to format it. After a click on
  ok the installer crashes (reproducable) with the following message:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde_ui.py", line 1888, in
  on_partition_list_edit_activate
      self.partman_edit_dialog(devpart, partition)
    File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde_ui.py", line 1760, in
  partman_edit_dialog
      self.dbfilter.edit_partition(devpart, **edits)
  TypeError: edit_partition() got an unexpected keyword argument 'format'

  Unfortunately I can't append /var/log/partman, because Konqueror (the
  only browser I have with the Live CD) seems not to be able to work
  together with Launchpad for a file upload.
