[Bug 1495017] Re: ubiquity crashed with permission error on NetworkManager GetDevices() call

[Danny Werner]

A workaround similar to Doug McMahon´s  #11: installing ubuntu studio
(Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)15.10 daily build downloaded
Sept 19 2015)  from terminal (from live session) worked for me:

$ sudo -i
# sh -c 'ubiquity gtk_ui'

I have two questions.

1. I did NOT 
# systemctl start NetworkManager
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
# pkill ubiquity
as advised by Marek in #17. Will this cause me trouble? I am writing this in the installed 15.10 Beta. Maybe NetworkManager had already started correctly in another code branch - I had checked the option ¨download updates while installing¨.

2. When I wanted to add Ubuntu Studio to the affected distributions, it
was not in the dropdown choices. Shouldn ´t it?

HTH,  thank you Mathieu for looking into this.
