  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!
