Ubiquity-DM dies on Kubuntu images

[Philip Muškovac]

Looks like an issue with kactivies and Qt5Sql? Or wayland?

Only seems to happen in virtual machines, not on hardware

I don't think we've figured out what the issue is yet?

[Philip Muškovac (yofel)]

Actually scratch that, we do know how to reproduce it now (only seems to happen in virtual machines), just not how to debug it.
