Comment 25 for bug 1754646

I do not speak/read Swedish.

But this shows up right after picking "Svenska" and selecting "Installera Lubuntu". The very next prompt has the "<ERR>" text in the installer and it happens 100% of the time.

Den valda platsen kommer att <ERR>

Note: I do not speak Swedish...nor do I have a Swedish keyboard. So after selecting "Svenska" I pressed F3 and set it to "Canada" so that my keyboard allows me to type the underscore character.

I'm booting in legacy mode so this tweak gets more debug info:
- press F6 to get additional options
- hit escape at the pop-up, and then pressed the left arrow three times so the cursor is positioned in front of the "---" in the boot command line.
- added this to the boot options: DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer DEBCONF_C_VALUES=true
- add an extra space after =true
- hit enter to start the install.

Similar trick works in UEFI mode, just hit "e" to edit the command line, etc.

When I see the <ERR> onscreen I switched to an alternate console (control-alt-f2) and hit enter to activate the console:

tail -n 50 /var/log/syslog | more

It's choking on debconf string: localechooser/shortlist TXT2

"Den valda platsen kommer att " the next word in this string is "anvandas" (with the second a having the umlaut double-dots on top).

I am troubleshooting this further, but hope it helps those who do.
