Ubiquity appears to hang installing dual boot OSX

[sennett]

I am trying to dual-boot OSX (10.9 Mavericks) and Ubuntu 14.04, and the Ubiquity installer has apparently hung for the last hour.

I resized my OSX partition using Disk Utility in OSX, and made a FAT partition there. Then in Ubuntu from the Live USB I ran the installer. Resized this partition a bit (screenshot) and confirmed. After that, nothing apart from the frozen UI, and the ubiquity process taking up most of a core.

There's a fatal error in the Ubiquity-dm log seemingly related to some X session not existing. Not entirely sure if this is relevant.

Ubiquity version 2.18.17.

There was something weird happening with the automatic partitioning. I restarted, deleted the FAT partition created in OSX, manually partitioned the free space instead of accepting the defaults, and now everything is installing no problem.
