For a number of weeks at the end of March 2024. Kubuntu 24.04 daily build ISOs cannot be installed. The Calamares installer wizard fails with error dialog with text that contains “/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/calamares/modules/networkcfg/main.py”.
The manual fix/workaround is to boot into Live CD mode (when the ISO boots, choose the Try not the Install button). Open Konsole, become superuser (sudo su) and edit this file to replace “chmod(f” with “chmod(f.fileno()”.
Or using a sed one liner:
sed -i ‘s/chmod(f/chmod(f.fileno()/g’ /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/calamares/modules/networkcfg/main.py
Then start the Calamares installer and install as usual.
