[Bug 1182784] Re: Install with German / Swiss Keyboard fails: "ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 141" or "Installer Crashed"

[Oliver Knoll]

Just for confirmation that there are more than 10 people in Switzerland
trying to install Kubuntu ;)

I experienced exactly the same "ubi-console-setup failed with exit code
141" with a Kubuntu 13.10 64bit ISO image, while trying to install it in
a VirtualBox machine, on a Mac with OS X 10.8.5 as host and... a Swiss
keyboard (DE_CH)!

The error appears when about to select the Time Zone during
installation. "Retry" results (unsurprisingly) in the same error. After
"Ignore" I reach the "Personal Info" screen (where I can enter my
desired user name and such), the installer downloads some packages in
the background and proceeds somewhat, until finally dying with an
"Installation failed" message (about 25% of the progress bar or so have
been reached).

Interestingly enough the system then goes on and boots into the KDE
desktop - at this point I did not try to check what packages where
missing (mostly because I was very annoyed by that black box which very
frequently was rendered "behind" my mouse button, but that is probably
more a Mac Hardware/Virtual Box thing - never mind).
