Bug Description

This time I tried after selecting Swedish time zone (and language). Calamares failed.

External command finished with errors.
Command rm /tmp/calamares-root-dhepyboh/home/*/calamares.desktop finished with exit code 1. Output: rm: cannot remove '/tmp/calamares-root-dhepyboh/home/*/calamares.desktop': No such file or directory

When booting into my Toshiba laptop from 2013 with Intel i5 (generation 3),

and using the default location (New York and US English), the following error occurred, unlike what happened with the same selected dialogue in Calamares in a computer from 2008 with an Athlon CPU,

Compare bug #1780984

The test in comment #3 was done in BIOS mode ('CSM' selected).

Testing almost the same as in comment #3 (in the Toshiba laptop) but

- in UEFI mode (not secure boot)

- 'Erase disk' (to check with an MSDOS partition table, if Calamares can create an EFI system partition etc). It 'says' that it will create a GPT, an ESP and a root partition ...

This failed with an output similar to bug #1780875.

See the attached screenshot of the error window.

I have reported this as the separate bug #1781015

  * Add translations support for the desktop file and the installer slideshow.
  * Increase the timeout for the shellprocess commands (LP: #1781015).
  * Remove the rm line of the shellprocess command (LP: #1780977).
