64bit 20150220 build in vbox works.

Issue not apparent using kvm - however, that appears to hang at the first boot screen waiting for user input rather than carrying through to the try/install dialougue.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.21.12

---------------
ubiquity (2.21.12) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Clean up after NetworkManager's system-connections files in prepare job
    for oem-config: we shouldn't keep wireless connections (or any, really)
    on the system that may have been setup by OEM, unless done *after* running
    oem-prepare. (LP: #1418105)
  * Force the GTK-based installer to be visible when starting, this should fix
    it being running but hidden on some Xubuntu only-ubiquity installs, which
    meant users had to Alt-Tab to it and switch language for it to appear.
    (LP: #1423161)
  * Automatic update of included source packages: grub-installer
    1.78ubuntu25.
