installer does not launch GUI live session LXDE

[Lyn Perrine]

To reproduce go into a live session and then try to launch ubiquity in utopic lubuntu i386 in virtualbox using testdrive. I waited for an hour while I took a walk for the ubiquity window to show up. and it did not launch. The ubiquity process starts and will tell you it is already running and show up in pgrep. but the GUI never appears.
