[Bug 1182784] Re: Install with German / Swiss Keyboard fails: "ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 141" or "Installer Crashed"

[Oliver Knoll]

Interesting: trying to change the keyboard layout in the host system (OS
X 10.8.5) to an English keyboard layout before installation (before each
attempt I completely wiped the VirtualBox disk image and created a new
one) did not help.

And by now I realised that the system does not actually boot into the
half-baked/failed installation, but into the Live system instead.

Anyway, I then went on (in the Live system) to run "Install" -> Install
on Harddisk, but this time I chose the language to be English (in the
very first "dialog").

I was then able to properly choose the "Switzerland - German
(Macintosh)" keyboard (previously I never got to see that screen!) and
the installation continued without that "141" error.

I don't know whether it is the combination of my english (host) keyboard
layout with the fact that I chose English as the language, or the fact
that I chose English alone, or whether the reason was that I called the
Installer from the Live system...


But that should give you some possible pointers to track it down :)

** Attachment added: "With language set as "English" I got to see that screen here (otherwise that "141" error)."
