Instead of typing gnome you should have hit '2'. That said, looking up the index by value on an error might work to recover from a situation where a user inputs the value instead of number.

Agreed, this option was meant to be a number-input, but it should also support by name, so this is a mistake on my end :)

It looks like the line that threw the error already tries to account for this, in the way you said. I think the list conversion in my OP might fix 😃

I was using numbers up until that point, but what threw me off was the installer asking for "Enter a pre-programmed profile name". Anyway, it's a cool installer, thanks for writing it!

We, and by we I mean me, should really start using generic_select() which supports both numbers and text-input.

FYI, this seems to be resolved in master and can probably be closed:

Note that this issue persists for the graphics driver selection, and I would rework it in master, but there are substantial changes to this GPU driver selection logic being made in 2.2.0, so it'll probably get fixed in that version :)

This should be fixed in the latest RC, and 2.2.0 with its reworked graphics driver selections. Please test the ISO on https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/releases/tag/v2.1.4-RC2

This was fixed in v2.1.4 (released yesterday). Generally we did a lot of improvements to the selection process and this specific error shouldn't happen anymore. If it does, feel free to poke me and I'll re-open! :)
