[Bug 2054717] [NEW] ubiquity crashed in 24.04 installation

[ajgreeny]

Public bug reported:

I tried to install Xubuntu 24.04 using the iso downloaded from the daily pending versions.
The bootstrap installer started but took about 5 minutes or more before showing the whirling icon and text "Preparing Xubuntu"
The installer did not move away from that for a timed 38 minutes.
To see if it would still work I installed ubiquity and all the dependencies including the ubiquity-frontend-gtk with all dependencies.
ubiquity started as expected and after copying all the files ready for installing to start it crashed.
