Ubiquity goes straight to a live session, ubuntu 13.04

[Jackson Doak]

When opening an ubuntu 13.04 iso, instead of the installer loading, which gives the options for either install or live desktop, the live desktop immediately loads, with a colord-sane crash and a ubiquity-dm crash appearing.

This is correct behavoir (well, booting to live desktop). The crashes can be considered bugs.

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

Noskcaj, perhaps you are meaning something else? The "install" or "try" greeter not appearing?

This bug affects also Raring Ubuntu Desktop amd64 daily: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20130214/raring-desktop-amd64.iso.
I booted my laptop: http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/CarlaSella/HP%20G62%20Notebook%20PC from this ISO and it booted correclty, I was asked if I wanted to install Ubuntu or try Ubuntu.
I booted a VM on virtualbox from this same ISO and it skipped the Welcome window and went directly to live session see attached screenshot.

[Carla Sella (carla-sella)]

Forgot to add that, as you can see from the screenshot, got a ubiquity-dm crash.
I'm attaching another screenshot with the part of the message cut in the previous one.

[Carla Sella (carla-sella)]

I used Virtualbox version: 4.1.18_Ubuntu r78361

[Carla Sella (carla-sella)]

The Raring Ubuntu Desktop i386 ISO works fine, boots correclty on Virtualbox.

i'm starting to think it is the same bug as the ubiquity-dm bug
