cyphermoxacheronuk: right now you want to look at what the KeyError was15:36
acheronukyeah, just struggling with my deb skills15:36
acheronuk*debug15:37
cyphermoxset_keyboard runs, tries to get the real name of the thing for setxkbmap or whatever else by looking it up in kbdnames.gz15:37
acheronukprobably need to try in a normal ubuntu VM to see what the correct values are, then compare15:38
cyphermoxhrm, otoh, it' s normal that there might be one KeyError first, and then it tries again with "C" as the lang15:38
cyphermoxwait, wtf15:39
cyphermoxdebconf (developer): <-- METAGET keyboard-configuration/layout choices-c15:39
cyphermoxdebconf (developer): --> 1 Afghani, Albanisch, Amharisch, Arabisch, Arabisch (Marokko), Arabisch (Syrien), Armenisch, Aserbaidschanisch, Bambara, Bangla, Belgisch, Berber (Algerien\\, lateinische Schrift), Bosnisch, Braille, Bulgarisch, Burmesisch, Chinesisch, Dänisch, Deutsch, Deutsch (Österreich), Dhivehi, Dzongkha, Englisch (Australien), Englisch (B15:39
cyphermoxwell job, debconf. this isn't  -c ;)15:40
acheronuksorry?15:41
cyphermoxchoices-c is supposed to be untranslated strings, I think15:41
cyphermoxthose are clearly in de15:42
cyphermoxso something isn't quite right15:42
cyphermoxI'm hoping this isn't a big deep rabbit hole, but it looks really odd, and right now I'm unable to find where choices-c might get from untranslated to translated15:49
cyphermoxthis must be blowing up in Gtk as well15:51
acheronukdebconf (developer): <-- METAGET keyboard-configuration/layout choices-c15:54
acheronuk^^^ that gets the translated in gtk as well15:54
acheronukbut no keyerror15:54
cyphermoxok15:57
cyphermoxstill in Deutsch though?15:57
cyphermox(the GET keyboard-configuration/layout just after METAGET)15:58
acheronukcyphermox: https://i.imgur.com/MyPJgdF.png15:59
cyphermoxyeah ok, this is just python catching the error16:01
cyphermoxmight explain a lot of fubar setting keyboard values, tbh16:01
acheronukodd that Kubuntu throws the error and Ubuntu does not16:02
cyphermoxyeah, it' s a red herring, I think16:03
cyphermoxsorry, everytime I look at this I need to start from the top, the code is really complicated :/16:03
acheronukcyphermox: lol. think about how I see it! :P16:04
acheronuk1st time looking and not really sure what I'm looking at16:04
acheronuk:D16:04
cyphermoxwell, you try to follow the leads really, one thing at a time16:07
cyphermoxso looking at UbiquityDebug there' s a whole lot of stuff16:07
cyphermoxand I got tripped by the KeyError16:07
cyphermox(it' s still wrong, I' m pretty sure, but probably not why it blows up for just KDE)16:07
cyphermoxCHOICES-C should really not be translated, that' s what -C is for :)16:08
cyphermoxthen you got the error with code 141 after it, while running <cyphermox> sorry, everytime I look at this I need to start from the top, the code is really complicated : /usr/lib/ubiquity/console-setup/keyboard-configuration.postinst16:08
cyphermoxoops16:08
cyphermoxsorry about that, but the filename is good16:09
cyphermox/usr/lib/ubiquity/console-setup/keyboard-configuration.postinst16:09
cyphermox^  there' s an error running that16:09
acheronukright16:09
cyphermoxand just afterwards, you still got some debconf GETs that look like what that script does at lines 41-5116:09
cyphermoxsomething just after that must be failing.16:10
cyphermoxacheronuk: could you try to get to the keyboard panel in the Kubuntu installer (picking the language but not hitting Next), then open a terminal and try to run the commands in that script?16:10
cyphermoxmight find what is unhappy16:10
acheronukreally need a 'duh' emoji on here. I completely missed that code was from the postinst!16:11
cyphermoxor run through the installer, up to the point it crashes, and check what you have in /etc/default/keyboard16:11
cyphermoxhey, I didn' t remember either16:11
cyphermoxI was wondering what was throwing a 141 from the ubiquity python code16:12
acheronukok. I may have to come back to this later, or later in the week16:17
acheronukcyphermox: thanks so far :)16:17
acheronukcyphermox: if I choose a non english language to start with, and so get the error, I never see the keyboard choice page :/16:21
acheronukskips straight to the software choices page (e.g. minimal/normal install etc)16:22
* acheronuk pokes tsimonq2 16:25
acheronukcan haz calamares?16:25
acheronuk:P16:25
cyphermoxacheronuk: yeah, as long as you get to that point it' s fine -- the keyboard page " has run"16:28
acheronukright. I'll try to find some way to work out what in the postinst is falling over16:30
Korroshey all20:38
Korrostrying to sort out an automated deployment of ubuntu 18.04, but getting confused on should I use the d-i or Ubiquity20:40
Korrosand where do I find more information about the syntax around partitioning?20:40
