Seems to be broken maybe in policykit-1: when you try to start ubiquity,
it appears as if polkitd gets DBus activated, then stopped when ubiquity
stops, but this fails if it doesn't manage to get activated correctly
(or works more than once if it fails to stop), etc.

This needs to be looked at carefully in DBus activation and systemd
configs to make sure there isn't some issue with how it gets started in
the live session. Basically, crashes only happen if polkit isn't running
when ubiquity starts.

** Package changed: ubiquity (Ubuntu) => policykit-1 (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: policykit-1 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Critical

** Changed in: policykit-1 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

Title:
  crash during network setup in ubiquity wily

Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  on wily release candidates I get a crash when it switches to the
  network setup page

  this doesn't happen with "try ubuntu" mode which runs as root only
  when launching ubiquity from the desktop

  the backtrace points to an authentication issue

  I get a related backtrace even if I'm connected to a network from the
  panel network-manager
