installation fail when choosing french language

[jamesbad000]

After selecting timezone, error message box ""ubi console setup failed with exit code 141" appear instead of keyboard selection screen.
Retrying fail again and when ignoring, installation go on for a while and fail later.

Chosing English first then french keyboard, works

Could you check which version of ubiquity you are using? I wonder whether this might be a duplicate of bug 1373033 or at least related to it. I don't see whether anyone has triggered that bug with French, but multiple other languages are mentioned triggering it.

the failling version is ubiquity 2.18.8.2.

I am using an updated live-cd from an official kubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64

Using the official live-cd as is, doesn't reproduce the error.

But updating ubiquity (intialy 2.18.8) in a live session, as below, reproduce the same problem:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ ubiquity --version
2.18.8
kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update
(...)
kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ubiquity

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. If you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect https://api.launchpad.net/1.0/bugs/1377688

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
