[Bug 1286077] [NEW] ubiquity crashed while installing Ubuntu

Public bug reported:

Using the daily 64 bit image from Feb. 27, 2014, I tried installing
Ubuntu today from a USB stick to the secondary partition of my laptop's
SSD.

Since I needed to install it to the secondary partition, I chose 'custom
install'. I selected sda2 as the root partition, chose not to format it
as it had already been formatted (with ext4) and I wanted to keep the
disk label intact. I then got a warning that I didn't have a swap
partition. But since I have 8GB RAM and do not use hibernate, I decided
to continue.

I selected 'Download updates while installing' and 'Download 3rd party
software'.

Somewhere along the installation, while I was clicking through the slide
show, ubiquity crashed.
