So, not really sure what the source package here is (possibly ubiquity?) but this still happens with the latest Saucy builds. It's not anywhere near top priority, but if someone wouldn't mind taking a look it would make the entire install process easier for those of us who are running Saucy on a VM. The lines only happen during the installation process, furthering the thought that the issue is with ubiquity. This does not happen with "alternate" install methods, only when using the desktop iso. Please change the package if it is proven to be incorrect.
