Interesting: trying to change the keyboard layout in the host system (OS X 10.8.5) to an English keyboard layout before installation (before each attempt I completely wiped the VirtualBox disk image and created a new one) did not help.
And by now I realised that the system does not actually boot into the half-baked/failed installation, but into the Live system instead. Anyway, I then went on (in the Live system) to run "Install" -> Install on Harddisk, but this time I chose the language to be English (in the very first "dialog"). I was then able to properly choose the "Switzerland - German (Macintosh)" keyboard (previously I never got to see that screen!) and the installation continued without that "141" error. I don't know whether it is the combination of my english (host) keyboard layout with the fact that I chose English as the language, or the fact that I chose English alone, or whether the reason was that I called the Installer from the Live system... But that should give you some possible pointers to track it down :) ** Attachment added: "With language set as "English" I got to see that screen here (otherwise that "141" error)." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1182784/+attachment/3960427/+files/Screenshot%202014-01-28%2011.12.34.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1182784 Title: Install with German / Swiss Keyboard fails: "ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 141" or "Installer Crashed" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1182784/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
