[Bug 793248] Re: [natty] kde_components/PartitionModel.py crashes if installer run in plasma netbook workspace

[Harald Sitter]

That really should not have anything to do with the kind of Plasma
shell.

Also that particular backtrace does not make much sense unfortunately :/

relevant lines:

class TreeItem:
    def __init__(self, data, controller=None, parent=None):
        self.parentItem = parent

    def row(self):
        if self.parentItem:

Now I just tested whether an assignment with None would result in such an error, though it does not.
Equally the other part of the backtrace is super confusing, and might or might not be related.

        childItem = index.internalPointer()
        parentItem = childItem.parent()

All in all I am pretty clueless on this, and can neither confirm nor fix
this issue. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable in python can find the
problem.

Thanks for the report anyway.

Title:
  [natty] kde_components/PartitionModel.py crashes if installer run in
  plasma netbook workspace

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Trying to install Kubuntu 11.04 on an MSI Wind U100 rebrand netbook.

  After booting the live media I was automatically presented with the
  netbook workspace formfactor, but instead of changing it to the normal
  desktop workspace I thought I'd give it a try.

  The installer crashed after I finished manually partitioning with the
  attached python backtraces. I retried it twice and it was quite
  reproducible. After switching to the desktop workspace (and running
  ubiquity from a terminal with debugging enabled), I got past that step
  and the installation finished successfully.
