I work as a system builder and ran into this bug today doing an OEM install on an Asus H170I-Plus D3 motherboard. The issue is seems to be related to the System-Product-Name field. When doing an OEM install it creates an invalid System-Product-Name and crashes the ubiquity installer. It seems to be echoing the dmidecode error into the field causing an invalid number of characters.

the field gets filled with:

oem-SMBIOS-implementations-newer-than-version-2-8-are-not-fully-supported-by-this-version-of-dmidecode-System-Product-Name

When i booted the installer normally. Same error but in the installer it allows me to fix the invalid field. Attached is a screenshot of that.

hope this helps!
