[Bug 1306704] [NEW] kubuntu amd64 image launched from usb stick doesn't install

[Max Brustkern]

Public bug reported:

I've got the daily kubuntu amd64 desktop image on a usb stick, booted
via grub2.  When I get to the part where the installer wants to unmount
partitions, I get an unreadable error message, and the installer sits on
"Preparing to install Kubuntu" with the Back and Continue buttons greyed
out.
