[Bug 1223432] [NEW] Installer fails to start in saucy live USB system

[Otus]

Public bug reported:

I booted a daily live image using an USB stick. After selecting try
ubuntu (and waiting ages) I got to the desktop and tested some programs.
Double clicking the install icon on the desktop failed to open the
installer. The launcher option also failed to work.

I checked top and ps, it seems ubiquity was running. I killed it and
tried launching from the command line. It ran, but gave me no window.
Ctrl+C didn't even interrupt it.
