Was testing the daily ISO in a virtual machine. Ubiquity didn't adapt to the actual screen size; I couldn't click next. So I closed ubiquity and then this crash happened.

I was able to recreate this on a 20.04 daily iso dated 20200330 by clicking quit after selecting a language. This happens both when choosing "Install Ubuntu" or launching "Install Ubuntu" from the desktop.
