[Hardy] ubiquity hangs after language selection, until languagechooser is -KILL'ed

The languagechooser package is long dead, merged into localechooser years ago. However, this is probably a ubiquity bug anyway. I thought we'd fixed this in 1.7.3 ...

Could you please run the installer with 'ubiquity --debug' and attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/debug to this bug, following the directions in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs? Thanks in advance.

I can confirm this problem.

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron Alpha 4, DesktopCD, i386

Problem is only with Czech (I have also tried German, French, English and Greek - everything without problems...).

My /var/log/installer/debug is very very big (about 16MB, 30 000 lines of text) should I attach it too?

Same problem with Alpha 5 (but /var/log/installer/debug is smaller now, so I could attach it..).

Thank you for your bug report. I will change the status back to "New". To be confirmed by someone else having this bug.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.7.14

---------------
ubiquity (1.7.14) hardy; urgency=low

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Drop all references to mythappearance.
  * Use x11vnc instead of vnc4server which is broke in Hardy.
  * Add support for PVR-350 TV-Out.
  * Only remove themes when selected for removal.
  * Update included mythweb postinst for trunk behavior.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Split iso_3166.tab lines by tabs, fixing an infinite loop on countries
    whose names contain more than one word (LP: #193329).
  * Drop all privileges and set HOME before launching a browser to read
    release notes (LP: #194727).
  * Explicitly depend on ntfsprogs for NTFS resizing.
  * Print a traceback as well as the exception message if
    DebconfFilter.process_line raises an exception.
  * Enable debconf's escape capability for communications between the filter
    and the underlying frontend by default. Split arguments to filtered
    commands into only as many arguments as are required by the command.
    This should fix autopartitioning in certain locales (LP: #177623).
  * In ubiquity-dm, fall back to xfwm4 if metacity fails (unifying gtk_ui
    and mythbuntu_ui handling in the process). Avoid hardcoding full paths
    where possible.
  * Fix reversed handling of answer to grub-installer/install_to_xfs
    (LP: #138422).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * partman/confirm_new_label is now partman-
    partitioning/confirm_new_label (LP: #190036).
  * Add ubiquity/automation_failure_command debconf question which is called
    whenever user interaction is required. This includes non-fatal error
    dialogs. ubiquity/failure_command is now only called when the installer
    crashes.
  * Make the zoomed in tzmap bigger and the points smaller. Only select one
    timezone at a time.
  * Add a --no-continue option to disable the continue using the Live CD
    button when running in only-ubiquity mode (LP: #195935).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup
    1:0.31ubuntu6, console-setup 1.21ubuntu3, debian-installer-utils
    1.50ubuntu2, partman-auto 73ubuntu3, partman-base 114ubuntu2, user-
    setup 1.16ubuntu4.
