[Bug 577302] Re: ubiquity crashes with error: "InstallStepError: Plugin usersetup failed with code 32"

[Thomas Weissel]

unfortunately the patch fails on all my installations ob kubuntu 12.04
..  1 out of 3 hunks failed to apply...

is it possible to fix this somehow on a live usb installaiton .. tell
the system to mount /dev/ first.. or use the /preseed/custom.seed file
to seed those random numbers ??

this error totally blocks the bootprocess on some machines for up to 5
minutes..

Title:
  ubiquity crashes with error: "InstallStepError: Plugin usersetup
  failed with code 32"

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  When installing Kubuntu with the option set for an encrypted $HOME, I get to the "Creating user" stage and I get this error:
  ---
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 524, in <module>

      raise InstallStepError("Plugin %s failed with code %s" % (plugin.NAME, ret))
  InstallStepError: Plugin usersetup failed with code 32

  However, when I install Kubuntu without setting the option for encrypted $HOME, it installs successfully. I have tried searching both the ubiquity source and the ecryptfs source for code 32, but without any luck.
