[Bug 1048541] [NEW] [Master] Installation failed: The installer encountered an unrecoverable error

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Public bug reported:

Upon booting, ubiquity does not start, and instead a popup "Installation
failed" appears.

Clicking OK, launching full desktop and starting ubiquity from there
works and you can proceed with the installation.

Debug logs attached.
