The stable release of Ubuntu 16.04 still has the issue. I am not able to install. When I use ubiquity --automatic, then it shows ubi-partman return status 10 error. Tried to fix this using nodmraid. Still didn't work. Ubuntu has become inaccessible.

@Alexander Vinbæk Strand: I'm pretty certain this particular crash got fixed (for Ubuntu-GNOME and others) before release; could you confirm you've managed to do an install without crash? I haven't re-tested Norwegian recently, but other languages exhibited the same crash before I applied a fix...

@Alberto, Enkouyami: Not all crashes are equal. This here is a crash because of language-specific code; what you've seen were issues only on KDE and only with Secure Boot -- they've also been fixed before release, but you won't see that unless you use the official images (not an older alpha daily image).

On my computer it seems like it is fixed but there it was no problem before.
But when I reported that bug I used vmware with EFI, but I don't think it
has secureboot, but I can test on vmware and see if it's working.
