Permissions on /etc/default/keyboard were: c------------ while on the default were -rw-r--r--r
So workaround copying resulted in -rw-r--r-- so install completed. BTW, this is US so this is what keyboard looked like: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/default/keyboard # Check /usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/README.Debian for # documentation on what to do after having modified this file. # The following variables describe your keyboard and can have the same # values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options # in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="us" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS="" # If you don't want to use the XKB layout on the console, you can # specify an alternative keymap. Make sure it will be accessible # before /usr is mounted. # KMAP=/etc/console-setup/defkeymap.kmap.gz which went on to code 2 and fail. Your workaround worked. Maybe the bug is the permissions -c----------instead of -rw-r--r-- Having said that, I didn't copy the permissions, could even have been c---------- Maybe all I had to do was change permissions? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1408495 Title: Ubiquity crashes prior to keyboard configuration in 15.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1408495/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
