Bug Description
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.
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
