 Hi,

 I can reproduce this with the 6.0 full iso, trying to install to a VM
 image drive with kvm/qemu. Also if I press the any key at bootup and
 select "Install Xubuntu" from the old boot menu, it just ignores that and
 boots up as the regular user.

 The exact timing of when we did the test installs slips my mind, but
 perhaps our last minute neutering of ubiquity caused some collateral
 damage? And yet Alex was able to create a VM from an iso, right? Was the
 mini used for that? If so, maybe it was the remastering of the full iso
 which caused the trouble? The error message in the above ML post (& I get
 the same one) had something to do about reading the filesystem size.

 As a start, to test the neutered-ubiquity at start we can manually undo
 the change to /etc/init/ubiquity.conf while booted in the iso. But before
 trying that I'll try installing from a final mini.iso.
