I have past this one to the next menu and continue to the end of the config without problem. After have started to install on HDD, it finish with a crash report. I have added it as text.

For info, Kubuntu daily build :

lucid-desktop-amd64.iso 26-Feb-2010 05:49 686M Desktop CD for 64-bit PC (AMD64) computers (standard download)

have the same bugs and can't be installed

this error message appear too on the daily :

ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 141

[Giuseppe Pennisi (giupenni78)]

With 13-Mar-2010 iso I have the same problem.
"ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 141. Further information may be found in /var/log/syslog. Do you want to try running this step again before continuing? If you do not, your installation may fail entirely or may be broken."

The ubiquity version is 2.1.35.

I noticed that when I start kubuntu ubiquity I have this message:
Configuration file "/root/.kde/share/config/kubuntu-ubiquityrc" not writable.
Please contact your system administrator.

[Giuseppe Pennisi (giupenni78)]

With 16-Mar-2010 iso (ubiquity 2.2.0) the problem persist.

Has been fixed only the alert:
Configuration file "/root/.kde/share/config/kubuntu-ubiquityrc" not writable.
Please contact your system administrator.

[Giuseppe Pennisi (giupenni78)]

With ubiquity 2.2.4 the problem persist but when I choose the keyboard layout instead that geographical place.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-console-setup.py", line 269, in on_keyboard_layout_selected
    ly = keyboard_names.lang[l]['layouts'][unicode(layout)]

This PyQt up to its old problems with unicode strings.

[Evan (ev)]

This was fixed in the 20100318 CDs.

[starslights (starslights)]

hi Evan,

I am sorry but it's not fixed, my new info about this bug are from 20100318 version.

So it's always bugged, like Jonathan have see.

Best Regards

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

I couldn't recreate this issue when doing an install in French from 20100318

[Giuseppe Pennisi (giupenni78)]

I installed (Italian) 20100318 iso without this issue.

[starslights (starslights)]

I will redownload the "20100318" and try again, really strange while i am sure that was this version, I keep in touch

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

Just grab the beta 1 image, it's been relased now. Thanks for the testing

[starslights (starslights)]

I have re-download and try the live session: Swiss-French and it start but there no task bar and menu, only are the widget desktop with the installer in.

Maybe you must try with French languages and Swiss-French keyboard.

For the normal installer, i confirm that the bug still.

Try French, Location "Swiss"

It will bug for sure.

[starslights (starslights)]

hi Jonathan,

I have right downloaded the Beta 1 release but it have exactly the same problem.

crash on the geographical selection

[Evan (ev)]

starslights,

Can you please provide logs from the crash on the absolute latest daily-live CD (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/)?

Please run the installer in debug mode (`ubiquity -d` from a Konsole window). When it crashes, hit alt-f2 to bring up the run dialog and type `apport-collect 528678`

Thanks!

The second apport-collect are another crash as the one before (menu languages) , this one are on the "geographical menu" crash.

I hope that will help you to fix this really annoying bug :P

Best Regards

[Evan (ev)]

starslights,
I've committed a fix for the first set of apport logs that you posted. The second set of logs matches the original bug you reported, the PyQt bindings having difficulty with unicode strings.
