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-console-setup failed with exit code 2. Further information
maybe found in /var/log/syslog.
There are the relevant lines from /var/log/syslog:
Jan 7 23:30:39 ubuntu ubiquity:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/keyboard-configuration.config: 34160: .: Can't open
/etc/default/keyboard
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_handle_status:
('ubi-console-setup', 2)
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/keyboard
sudo mv /etc/default/keyboard.pre-ubiquity /etc/default/keyboard
then click "Continue anyway" in the dialog. This should prevent the
crash at the end of installation.
