[Bug 1302694] Re: ubi-partman fails with error code 141 during install (14.04 beta 2)

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Thanks for your report.

There is a partition with non-ascii characters and in debug log there is is UnicodeDecodeError exception:
Exception caught in process_line:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/filteredcommand.py", line 145, in process_line
    return self.dbfilter.process_line()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/debconffilter.py", line 287, in process_line
    if not input_widgets[0].run(priority, question):
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-partman.py", line 2977, in run
    size = int(parted.partition_info(p_id)[2])
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/parted_server.py", line 220, in partition_info
    self.open_dialog('PARTITION_INFO', partition)
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/parted_server.py", line 141, in open_dialog
    self.error_handler()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/parted_server.py", line 112, in error_handler
    exception_type = self.read_line()[0]
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/parted_server.py", line 74, in read_line
    line = self.outf.readline().rstrip('\n')
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/codecs.py", line 313, in decode
    (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 64: invalid continuation byte

Which could be due to the non-ascii label. Setting to incomplete and
I'll will try to reproduce the case.

Title:
  ubi-partman fails with error code 141 during install (14.04 beta 2)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When running ubiquity from terminal, throws this error and never gets to the partitioning window.
  When running it from the sidebar, doen't throw error but hangs before partitioning window (to never get there eventually)

  It's very annoying, I seem to understand it searches for a RAID pool
  (I have a SSD), but I made sure to have s-ATA set to AHCI mode in the
  EFI/BIOS setup before booting the installer (and there's no Intel Fast
  Storage option there by the way)
