Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Oneiric

Exception caught in process_line:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Jun 1 21:20:31 ubiquity: ['log-output', '-t', 'ubiquity', '--pass-stdout', '/usr/lib/ubiquity/console-setup/keyboard-configuration.postinst', 'configure'] exited with code 141

Not just with u'France' -- happens with u'USA' too. From slangasek, looks like xkb-data changed around (France v. French) causing some API breakage

I am able to reliably reproduce this issue in Oneiric Kubuntu using the desktop cd to install. Confirming the report.

Would it perhaps be better to get keyboard names from the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst instead of using the make-keyboard-names script? It seems to contain the same information. This could be done with a simple python script.

Kenneth: console-setup has to be brought up to date anyway ...

It might be worth refactoring in the future, though, yes, as it's certainly true that ubiquity.keyboard_names is an enormous data structure to have to keep in memory. I don't think this bug should block on that though.

I've confirmed that the console-setup fix was enough to cause ubiquity to stop breaking.
