Title:
  12.10 Installation crashed - /usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py",
  line 1705, in <module>

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I tried to reinstall Ubuntu after having trouble with my partitions. I
  had installed Windows 7 and then Ubuntu 12.10 beta 2 before trying to
  reinstall. The configuration was:

  SSD:
  / 25 GB
  /home 88 GB
  /swap 2 GB

  "normal" HDD:
  160 GB, Windows 7

  After installing all my necessary software I wasn't able to even surf
  the web. After making a few checks I figured out that my system
  partition was completely full. 0 kb left! I tried to reboot after
  doing "sudo apt-get clean" and the other things one does to make up
  space. When I then tried to reboot, I wouldn't even get to the login
  screen anymore. fschk would simply hang and the memory checks couldn't
  find any errors. This is why I tried a reinstall and wipe everything
  completely.
