Swiss German Keyboard abolutely does not work in kUbuntu 13.04 Installer! No Way!

64bit kUbuntu Desktop 13.04 image from kubuntu.org downloaded 2013-05-22

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

First try:

Try to install with Swiss-German Keyboard (i.e. choose it at boot screen) and there's a "ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 141" after setting the timezone; later (after ignore) the installation completely fails.

And yes, I just correctly downloaded and burned a 64bit kUbuntu Desktop 13.04 image from kubuntu.org.

Try it!

Install kUbuntu in German (Deutsch) / Swiss German Keyboard (Deusch Schweiz), selected already at boot.

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

Second try:

Boot without language/keyboard selection. Start live desktop. Go to system settings, setup german language and swiss-german keyboard (I *need* that! ever tried to enter password with another keyboard layout?!?). Start installer in german (note I always choose encrypted LVM). Set timezone to Switzerland. This time, I arrive at the keyboard selection. There is no "Deutsch (Schweiz)" ("German (Switzerland)") only Austria is represented - why?!? - ok, there's Schweiz (Switzerland), so I choose it from the combo-box -> immediately crashes!

"Installer Crashed" Traceback /usr/lib/ubiquity/plugin.py line 48 ...

No, I cannot provide you with log files, since I cannot setup a system on that computer. Try it out yourself! Please!
