[Bug 887879] Re: ubiquity crashed with ValueError in raw_decode(): No JSON object could be decoded

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.10.23

---------------
ubiquity (2.10.23) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Honour base-installer/kernel/altmeta when deciding which kernels to
    install or keep installed.

ubiquity (2.10.22) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  [ Dmitrijs Ledkovs ]
  * Make user-setup-encrypted-swap wait until partitioning has finished
    before attempting to adjust /target/etc/fstab. (LP: #1024343)
    (LP: #1068178)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Don't remove kernel headers just because we're removing signed kernel
    images of the same flavour (LP: #1070427).

ubiquity (2.10.21) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Fix missing parentheses that caused removable installation media
    sometimes to be selected as the default GRUB device (LP: #987418).
  * Support UEFI Secure Boot (LP: #1075181):
    - Try to install a signed kernel if base-installer asks for one, and
      don't leave signed kernels installed if it doesn't.
    - If the SecureBoot EFI variable is set, then ensure that
      grub-efi-amd64-signed and shim-signed remain installed.
    - Copy the signed kernel from /cdrom if it is not in the squashfs.  If
      there is a signed kernel there but no unsigned one, then use sbattach
      to remove the signature and construct the unsigned kernel on the fly.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
    1.122ubuntu7.2, grub-installer 1.68ubuntu5.1.

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Don't let oem-config crash from an invalid server return on the timezone
    page. (LP: #887879)

  [ Dmitrijs Ledkovs ]
  * Do not preseed grub-install, if we are not proceeding to install. This
    should fix ValueError, I/O operation on closed file (LP: #1027648)
    (LP: #792652)
  * Prevent progress label to expand & shrink the window (LP: #1046241)

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
  * Change from a KApplication to a QApplication to avoid using DBus, DBus
    as needed by KApplication no longer works with our multiple user changes
    LP: #1055967

Bug description:
  [Impact] Suboptimal networking environments cause ubiquity to crash.
  [Test Case] Fake up a captive proxy (a stunt proxy that returns some junk HTML for any query should do), run an install behind it, and make sure ubiquity doesn't crash.
  [Regression Potential] The fix is just a try: / except: syslog.syslog(), so should be very safe.

  can not be install. found error code 10 about keyboard layout
