I believe we need to cherry pick this commit from KDE Neon's fork of ubiquity.
https:/ /packaging. neon.kde. org/forks/ ubiquity. git/commit/ ?h=Neon/ release& id=716f0ce69fca 8d624240512ae55 60268be8c32ab
Manually applying that change to kde_ui.py in the live session allows ubiquity to start, and complete an install.
