[15:36] <cyphermox> acheronuk: right now you want to look at what the KeyError was
[15:36] <acheronuk> yeah, just struggling with my deb skills
[15:37] <acheronuk> *debug
[15:37] <cyphermox> set_keyboard runs, tries to get the real name of the thing for setxkbmap or whatever else by looking it up in kbdnames.gz
[15:38] <acheronuk> probably need to try in a normal ubuntu VM to see what the correct values are, then compare
[15:38] <cyphermox> hrm, otoh, it' s normal that there might be one KeyError first, and then it tries again with "C" as the lang
[15:39] <cyphermox> wait, wtf
[15:39] <cyphermox> debconf (developer): <-- METAGET keyboard-configuration/layout choices-c
[15:39] <cyphermox> debconf (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 (B
[15:40] <cyphermox> well job, debconf. this isn't  -c ;)
[15:41] <acheronuk> sorry?
[15:41] <cyphermox> choices-c is supposed to be untranslated strings, I think
[15:42] <cyphermox> those are clearly in de
[15:42] <cyphermox> so something isn't quite right
[15:49] <cyphermox> I'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 translated
[15:51] <cyphermox> this must be blowing up in Gtk as well
[15:54] <acheronuk> debconf (developer): <-- METAGET keyboard-configuration/layout choices-c
[15:54] <acheronuk> ^^^ that gets the translated in gtk as well
[15:54] <acheronuk> but no keyerror
[15:57] <cyphermox> ok
[15:57] <cyphermox> still in Deutsch though?
[15:58] <cyphermox> (the GET keyboard-configuration/layout just after METAGET)
[15:59] <acheronuk> cyphermox: https://i.imgur.com/MyPJgdF.png
[16:01] <cyphermox> yeah ok, this is just python catching the error
[16:01] <cyphermox> might explain a lot of fubar setting keyboard values, tbh
[16:02] <acheronuk> odd that Kubuntu throws the error and Ubuntu does not
[16:03] <cyphermox> yeah, it' s a red herring, I think
[16:03] <cyphermox> sorry, everytime I look at this I need to start from the top, the code is really complicated :/
[16:04] <acheronuk> cyphermox: lol. think about how I see it! :P
[16:04] <acheronuk> 1st time looking and not really sure what I'm looking at
[16:04] <acheronuk> :D
[16:07] <cyphermox> well, you try to follow the leads really, one thing at a time
[16:07] <cyphermox> so looking at UbiquityDebug there' s a whole lot of stuff
[16:07] <cyphermox> and I got tripped by the KeyError
[16:07] <cyphermox> (it' s still wrong, I' m pretty sure, but probably not why it blows up for just KDE)
[16:08] <cyphermox> CHOICES-C should really not be translated, that' s what -C is for :)
[16:08] <cyphermox> then 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.postinst
[16:08] <cyphermox> oops
[16:09] <cyphermox> sorry about that, but the filename is good
[16:09] <cyphermox> /usr/lib/ubiquity/console-setup/keyboard-configuration.postinst
[16:09] <cyphermox> ^  there' s an error running that
[16:09] <acheronuk> right
[16:09] <cyphermox> and just afterwards, you still got some debconf GETs that look like what that script does at lines 41-51
[16:10] <cyphermox> something just after that must be failing.
[16:10] <cyphermox> acheronuk: 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] <cyphermox> might find what is unhappy
[16:11] <acheronuk> really need a 'duh' emoji on here. I completely missed that code was from the postinst!
[16:11] <cyphermox> or run through the installer, up to the point it crashes, and check what you have in /etc/default/keyboard
[16:11] <cyphermox> hey, I didn' t remember either
[16:12] <cyphermox> I was wondering what was throwing a 141 from the ubiquity python code
[16:17] <acheronuk> ok. I may have to come back to this later, or later in the week
[16:17] <acheronuk> cyphermox: thanks so far :)
[16:21] <acheronuk> cyphermox: if I choose a non english language to start with, and so get the error, I never see the keyboard choice page :/
[16:22] <acheronuk> skips straight to the software choices page (e.g. minimal/normal install etc)
[16:25]  * acheronuk pokes tsimonq2 
[16:25] <acheronuk> can haz calamares?
[16:25] <acheronuk> :P
[16:28] <cyphermox> acheronuk: yeah, as long as you get to that point it' s fine -- the keyboard page " has run"
[16:30] <acheronuk> right. I'll try to find some way to work out what in the postinst is falling over
[20:38] <Korros> hey all
[20:40] <Korros> trying to sort out an automated deployment of ubuntu 18.04, but getting confused on should I use the d-i or Ubiquity
[20:40] <Korros> and where do I find more information about the syntax around partitioning?
