Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

The installer crashed with the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 166, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 161, in main
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 57, in install
    ret = wizard.run()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 338, in run
    self.process_step()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 828, in process_step
    self.progress_loop()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 599, in progress_loop
    raise RuntimeError, ("Install failed with exit code %s\n%s" %
RuntimeError: Install failed with exit code 1

  File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 705, in configure_locales
    raise InstallStepError("LanguageApply failed with code %d" % ret)
InstallStepError: LanguageApply failed with code 2

I was running ubiquity on a previous install and using KDE.

ubiquity really needs to be run from the live CD. Other configurations aren't supported, I'm afraid.

Changed in ubiquity:
