The problem resides in virtual machines with some kind of broken
consoles (or not correctly handled ones).
I narrowed down the problem to the the following command that is run on
setupcon:
setfont -C /dev/tty1 /etc/console-setup/Lat15-VGA16.psf.gz -m /etc
/console-setup/cached_ISO-8859-1.acm.gz
Tome on it just happened to me on Ubuntu 18.04.1 and I see that it was reported
2012 ffs !
This is not good at all.

The fact that this is still broken after all these years is bullshit.
This error, and any attempts to unfreeze it ruined the ubuntu install on
my VPS, and I have no means of getting the data off the fucking thing.

I can confirm that hitting scroll lock allows setup to continue. This
server has a physical keyboard directly connected to it that is never
used. Scroll lock was on for some reason so hitting the button turned
it off. My SSH session was stuck at "Configuring keyboard-

Still affects Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.
I found that going to each server and hitting scroll lock seemed to
magically un-block the hung "/bin/sh /bin/setupcon --force --save"

have triggered this bug because I use a KVM for my

I have similar issue while installing Ubuntu via Cisco UCSM. Installation stuck
on live-installer-console-setup until any key is pressed.
The proble was in in-target setupcon (executed by
25live-installer-console-setup) on printf redirected to $console:
for console in $ACTIVE_CONSOLES; do
As a workaround, I killed setupcon which was hanging, then it retried at
the end, and I killed it again. Then I went into /usr/bin/setupcon as
root and wrote in exit 0 at the top, so it would exit without doing
its evil work.
Then:
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
at the end. And things seems fixed.
The hang in setupcon may be a red herring. I saw this on a machine (HP
DL160 Gen9) with a FakeRAID controller (HP Dynamic Smart Array B140i)
which isn't supported (yet).
I tried to install 14.04.2 LTS from USB media, and it got stuck at 76% (Running
live-installer-console-setup).
After switching
Ohw, nice. Stuck here to upgrading a server in a server-center while at
work, confronted with the same seemingly not solved problem. Grr..

I checked busy processes with a second terminal with ps aux and found:

Then I did:
kill -9 22822
And install process
Uhm, DON'T do the above! :/

Why? Did anyone found out what to do?
At the point of having to reinstall a big server with many users and
mysql-databases because of this problem. I am really not looking forward to
that.. :'(And hoping no power failure happens before i have to do the manual
