Bug Description
As best as I can tell, if anything other than a US keyboard layout is selected from the boot menu, ubi-console-setup will crash prior to the keyboard configuration. The dialogue displayed says:
ubi-
There are the relevant lines from /var/log/syslog:
Jan 7 23:30:39 ubuntu ubiquity: /var/lib/
Jan 7 23:30:39 ubuntu ubiquity[2323]: log-output -t ubiquity setxkbmap -layout gb -option
Jan 7 23:30:39 ubuntu ubiquity[2323]: debconffilter_done: ubi-console-setup (current: ubi-console-setup)
Jan 7 23:30:39 ubuntu ubiquity[2323]: dbfilter_
The dialogue has 3 buttons, Quit, Continue Anyway and Try Again. If you choose Try Again it is possible to complete the install. If you choose Continue Anyway the installer will progress and eventually crash completely as which point apport was able to harvest the attached logs.
WORKAROUND: After you see the "ubi-console-setup crashed" dialog, open a terminal and do
sudo rm /etc/default/
sudo mv /etc/default/
then click "Continue anyway" in the dialog. This should prevent the crash at the end of installation.
