I re-tried with beta2 and got a crash at the same point. But now at least we've got a crash dialog "Installer crashed" with the backtrace :
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 536, in on_next_clicked self.dbfilter.ok_handler() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/components/usersetup.py", line 50, in ok_handler self.preseed('passwd/user-fullname', fullname.encode("UTF-8")) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/filteredcommand.py", line 231, in preseed value = value.encode("UTF-8", "ignore") UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 4: ordinal not in range(128) -- The character in position 4 is a french accented letter (circumflex i). The installer had chosen for me the "fr-latin9" encoding, which seemed to work. I'll try again without this accented letter and tell you what happens. -- crash in live-cd installer https://launchpad.net/bugs/40564 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
