Public bug reported:
Creating a live CD of 16.04. Just happen to be using Pinguy ISO Builder
but I guess it still applies to those that are manually creating a live
CD using ubiquity.
When the distroy live CD starts and the ubiquity icon on the desktop is
run, ubiquity crashes immediately after the copy files process has
completed. I briefly saw it was installing locales.
The fix is to change data/ubiquity.desktop.in and the Exec=sh -c
'ubiquity gtk_ui' to Exec=sudo sh -c 'ubiquity gtk_ui'
Note - using the same Pinguy code in 15.10 did not require this work
around so something has changed in 16.04 and the live cd user account
not having the full root permissions
attached /var/log/partman - the /var/log/syslog was 0 bytes and there
were no partman or syslog files in /var/log/installer
