[Bug 1903378] Re: ubiquity in live session and ubiquity-dm fails to start

[Rik Mills]

I am also told in #ubuntu-qt on IRC that:

<mitya57> Also sip.setapi('QVariant', 1) needs to be replaced with
something like sip.enableautoconversion(QVariant, False).

See
https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/PyQt5/pyqt_qvariant.html
and https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/PyQt5/api/sip/sip-
module.html#enableautoconversion

Bug description:
  Intending to explore an unrelated issue with sddm/video-graphics
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895905) I booted the current hirsute
  daily on

  dell [optiplex] 990 (i7-2600, 16gb, nvidia geforce gt 6600 gt)

  No "Try Kubuntu" or "Install Kubuntu" dialog appeared, instead I got

  "Installation failed - KDialog \n
   The installer encountered an unrecoverable error.
   A desktop session will now be run so that you may
   investigate the problem or try installing again"
