UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 16: ordinal not in range(128)

Hi,

Coming from microg/UnifiedNlp#133, I wanted to give the unofficial microG installer a try (from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/microg-unofficial-installer-t3432360).

Since I'm using LineageOS 14.1, I first need to add signature spoofing, so i came here to try Tingle.

I downloaded the current version, but here's the output :
`python main.py
MENU
1 - Patch file from a device (adb)
2 - Patch file from the input folder

1
*** OS: Linux 4.10.0-22-generic (linux)
*** Mode: 1
*** Working dir: /tmp/Tingle-sCi2uB
*** Selected device: ????????????
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 402, in
OUTPUT_PATH = os.path.join(SCRIPT_DIR, "output", SELECTED_DEVICE)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 73, in join
path += '/' + b
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 16: ordinal not in range(128)`

That must be some kind of UTF-8 encoding issue, right ?

If your device bootloop, please run this command on the pc when the connected device is inside recovery:
