Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu 13.10 daily build ISO of 12/10/2013 when trying to install
ubuntu, installer works fine until arriving at the step of choosing a
partition for installation. When choosing the option "Something else" to
perform a manual partitioning and pressing next, the installer window
disappears and never reappears.

There is no relevant entry written in either /var/log/syslog or
/var/log/partman and the latter shows that the partitions were detected
properly and were printed out on the program itself. The ubiquity
process is still running in the background (verified by ps -ef) but the
installer window is gone permanently (while the title bar is still shown
at the top and when using the alt+tab shortcut). This has happened both
by directly installing ubuntu, or choosing try first and then launching
ubiquity both through dash and command line (with & without sudo) as
well as after removing the ubuntu-one sso pluging from ubiquity.

** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
