[Bug 1239315] [NEW] ubiquity does not display interface

[Matthijs ten Kate]

Public bug reported:

When running saucy final beta from a USB stick (option "Try Ubuntu before installing"), ubiquity does not show an interface when started. As a result, Ubuntu cannot be installed.
- Double-clicking the icon on the desktop seems to produce no result (nothing happens)
- Clicking on the 'Install Ubuntu 13.10' icon in the shortcut bar on the left side has the same result (none)
- Running "ubiquity gtk_ui" from a terminal fails:

Ubiquity is already running!

- After doing a "sudo killal ubiquity" and then running "ubiquity
gtk_ui" again, no warnings are displayed, but the ubiquity user
interface still does not show.

After killing ubiquity again (from another terminal, CTRL+C does not
work), the terminal shows the following information:

Terminated
umount: /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/90-mandatory.d: not mounted

- Also tried running "ubiquity" (without gtk_ui) from the terminal -> same result (none)
- Also tried running "sh -c 'ubiquity gtk_ui'" from the terminal -> same result (none)
