vmc, please try tomorrow's ISO. The fixed ubiquity version wasn't released in time for today's Xubuntu iso build.

You can see the specific ubiquity version if you look in the .manifest file provided in the same directory as the ISO.

Appreciate the feedback. I suspected as much. I did not see the failure in
any of the other daily builds.

Thanks
