Something weird. When I enter System->Preferences->Keyboard after the crash, the keyboard-layout is set to Belgium (as I set before I started the installation). However the keyboard is not set to that layout (instead the guessed layout is being used). I have to add the proper layout (belgium) and to remove the former selected layout (belgium).
If I retry the installation (forward, forward, ...) en press the + key as the first key, ubiquity crashes immediately --- no entries added in /var/log/ ... ?? --- see syslog below Apr 22 06:22:13 ubuntu os-prober: debug: os detected by /usr/lib/os-probes/50mounted-tests Apr 22 06:22:13 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: debconffilter_done: ubi-timezone (current: ubi-timezone) Apr 22 06:22:13 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: Step_before = stepLocation Apr 22 06:22:14 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: log-output -t ubiquity setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us -option Apr 22 06:22:14 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: switched to page console_setup Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: Exception in GTK frontend (invoking crash handler): Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: Traceback (most recent call last): Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_components/keyboard_query.py", line 100, in key_press_event Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: r = self.keyboard_detect.read_step(c) Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/keyboard_detector.py", line 96, in read_step Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: raise Exception Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: Exception Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: or user.log Apr 22 06:22:13 ubuntu 50mounted-tests: debug: /dev/sda5 is a swap partition; skipping Apr 22 06:22:13 ubuntu os-prober: debug: os detected by /usr/lib/os-probes/50mounted-tests Apr 22 06:22:13 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: debconffilter_done: ubi-timezone (current: ubi-timezone) Apr 22 06:22:13 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: Step_before = stepLocation Apr 22 06:22:14 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: log-output -t ubiquity setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us -option Apr 22 06:22:14 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: switched to page console_setup Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: Exception in GTK frontend (invoking crash handler): Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: Traceback (most recent call last): Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_components/keyboard_query.py", line 100, in key_press_event Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: r = self.keyboard_detect.read_step(c) Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/keyboard_detector.py", line 96, in read_step Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: raise Exception Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: Exception Apr 22 06:22:21 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: Apr 22 06:22:49 ubuntu ubiquity: debconf: DbDriver "targetdb": could not open /target/var/cache/debconf/config.dat Apr 22 06:22:49 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: log-output -t ubiquity debconf-copydb configdb targetdb -p ^console-setup/ --config=Name:targetdb --config=Driver:File --config=Filename:/target/var/cache/debconf/config.dat Apr 22 06:22:49 ubuntu ubiquity: debconf: DbDriver "targetdb": could not open /target/var/cache/debconf/config.dat Apr 22 06:22:49 ubuntu ubiquity[5395]: log-output -t ubiquity debconf-copydb configdb targetdb -p ^oem-config/ --config=Name:targetdb --config=Driver:File --config=Filename:/target/var/cache/debconf/config.dat -- ubiquity crashed with Exception in read_step() while guessing keyboard-layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553087 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
