Title:
  Installer of Ubuntu Studio 13.10 crashes when encrypting home folder

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu installer crashed during installation of Ubuntu Studio
  13.10 (x64) under certain circumstances (see below). I retried with
  the exact same options and experienced the problem again. I retried a
  third time after rebooting, again the same problem. The automatically
  attached files are from the first try.

  The problem occurs when the installer says "Creating user...". I then
  found out that when I choose NOT to encrypt my home folder, the
  installer does not crash at that point and Ubuntu is installing fine.
  The problem only occurred when encrypting the home folder.

  I experienced two things which don't seem to be normal to me; maybe
  they are related, maybe they aren't:

  - In the partition editor within the installer, clicking on the
  "Format?" check box in the list causes an error (the installer
  continues to run in *some* cases, but in some it also crashes)

  - The second screen, when I am asked if I want to download updates +
  install 3rd party software, sometimes hangs for several minutes when I
  click on "Continue". I got impatient and clicked on Quit in these
  cases. Retrying the whole process worked.
