Can confirm this ludicrous bug.

Workaround: 
- The installation with Swiss-German Layout works if the installation language is English and not German.
- Therefore: Install in English and change to German after installation.

Title:
  Install with German / Swiss Keyboard fails: "ubi-console-setup failed
  with exit code 141" or "Installer Crashed"

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Swiss German Keyboard abolutely does not work in kUbuntu 13.04
  Installer! No Way!

  64bit kUbuntu Desktop 13.04 image from kubuntu.org downloaded
  2013-05-22

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  First try:

  Try to install with Swiss-German Keyboard (i.e. choose it at boot
  screen) and there's a "ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 141"
  after setting the timezone; later (after ignore) the installation
  completely fails.

  And yes, I just correctly downloaded and burned a 64bit kUbuntu
  Desktop 13.04 image from kubuntu.org.

  Try it!

  Install kUbuntu in German (Deutsch) / Swiss German Keyboard (Deusch
  Schweiz), selected already at boot.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Second try:

  Boot without language/keyboard selection. Start live desktop. Go to
  system settings, setup german language and swiss-german keyboard (I
  *need* that! ever tried to enter password with another keyboard
  layout?!?). Start installer in german (note I always choose encrypted
  LVM). Set timezone to Switzerland. This time, I arrive at the keyboard
  selection. There is no "Deutsch (Schweiz)" ("German (Switzerland)")
  only Austria is represented - why?!? - ok, there's Schweiz
  (Switzerland), so I choose it from the combo-box -> immediately
  crashes!

  "Installer Crashed" Traceback /usr/lib/ubiquity/plugin.py line 48 ...

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  No, I cannot provide you with log files, since I cannot setup a system
  on that computer. Try it out yourself! Please!
