mwhudson wondered if https://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs/commit/ca340221b9f324fd5b12be485f729bd5101d5c14 would help, we should consider trying that

`layout: en` was used, which was an invalid layout value. `layout: us` may be what was desired.

summary:	- install failed crashed with CalledProcessError (after refresh-installer - used in autoinstall) + invalid keyboard layout value results in setupcon error

We believe this issue has been resolved in Subiquity 23.04.2.

If you had tested this with a pre-final version of Ubuntu 23.04, it's
recommended to download the final install media.

For testing with Ubuntu Server 22.04.x or 20.04.x, when running
Subiquity, you should offered a new version of the installer. Please
take that update to version 23.04.2 or later to get the fix.

If this is still a problem for you, please make a comment and set the state
back to New. Thank you for the bug report.

Is it possible to create a fix for 22.04.x version as well?

Hi @Amit,

So the fix in question is just a clearer error up front that the layout value is invalid. You can resolve this today with your existing version by fixing the layout value. We will merge this fix though when the 22.04.3 release is done, or by allowing Subiquity to update itself to the latest version.

`layout: en` is invalid, `layout: us` is one possible alternative. Please see /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst for a list of known keyboard layouts.
