I work as a system builder and ran into this bug today doing an OEM install on an Asus H170I-Plus D3 motherboard. The issue is seems to be related to the System-Product-Name field. When doing an OEM install it creates an invalid System-Product-Name and crashes the ubiquity installer. It seems to be echoing the dmidecode error into the field causing an invalid number of characters.
the field gets filled with: oem-SMBIOS-implementations-newer-than-version-2-8-are-not-fully- supported-by-this-version-of-dmidecode-System-Product-Name When i booted the installer normally. Same error but in the installer it allows me to fix the invalid field. Attached is a screenshot of that. hope this helps! ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of installer with error displayed." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1374193/+attachment/4548770/+files/Screenshot%20from%202016-01-12%2012-11-49.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1374193 Title: ubiquity crashed with TypeError in make_error_string(): sequence item 0: expected str instance, NoneType found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1374193/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
