[Bug 1297312] Re: automatic-ubiquity does no longer start in Ubuntu-14.04

[Jason Gerard DeRose]

I can confirm this. This will happen if when you boot from the live CD,
you press shift to get the menu, pick your language, and then "Install
Ubuntu".

This does not happen if you "Try Ubuntu without installing", because in
this case you are passed into the normal desktop session, rather than
the special ubiquity-dm session.

This also effects OEM config... the first customer boot will be broken
and they'll end up autologging into the "oem" user account.

  automatic-ubiquity does no longer start in Ubuntu-14.04

Bug description:
  I created a new LiveCD install image for Ubuntu-14.04 today and
  automatic-ubiquity does not work anymore.

  In /var/log/installer/dm I can see this message:
  ubiquity-dm: Failed with an exception:
  ubiquity-dm: Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/ubiquity-dm", line 716, in main
      ret = run(vt, display, username)
    File "/usr/bin/ubiquity-dm", line 691, in run
      ret = dm.run(*sys.argv[4:])
    File "/usr/bin/ubiquity-dm", line 516, in run
      preexec_fn=self.drop_privileges))
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/subprocess.py", line 848, in __init__
      restore_signals, start_new_session)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/subprocess.py", line 1446, in _execute_child
      raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg)
  FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-application-service'

  The last LiveCD image I created have the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-application-service file but not the one I created today.
  The file belongs to the indicator-application package.
  Version 12.10.1+14.04.20140117-0ubuntu1 have the file but 12.10.1+14.04.20140324-0ubuntu1 does not.

  Ugly workaround:
  ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-application/indicator-application-service /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
