[Bug 1204765] [NEW] Ubiquity standalone stops working in Install Alongside screen

[Jeremy Bicha]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 Alpha 2 (20130724) i386

1. Do a full-disk install of Ubuntu GNOME (If using virtualization, I'd recommend no less than a 12GB virtual disk)
2. Afterwards, boot from the live image again. Choose Install Ubuntu GNOME and not Try Ubuntu GNOME (in other words, use the standalone installer and don't run the full live session)
3. On the Installation type screen, choose the Install Alongside option

What happens
-------------------
On the next screen, the mouse and keyboard still work. The Back and Install buttons are "insensitive" and therefore can't be clicked. The divider between the already-installed space and the to-be-installed appears to work. The advanced partitioning link does nothing.

The Quit button and the X do work...to show the "Do you really want to
quit" screen but nothing happens after clicking the Quit button on this
screen. (I verified that on previous screens the Quit button actually
does work...it exits the standalone installer and starts the live
session).

Workaround
----------------
If you wish to use Install Alongside, run the installer from the live session (the Try Ubuntu GNOME option).
