TEST CASE:
From Ubiquity in Kubuntu click "read release notes". Ubiquity will crash. With the updated version it will not.

Uploaded to trusty-proposed awaiting approved from ~ubuntu-sru

Hello Name, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubiquity into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/2.18.8 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

verified using kubuntu 14.04 cd and upgrading packages in the live system, and restarting ubiquity-dm. The link now opens kubuntu release notes.

I could not install the update

the document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to /etc/apt/sources.list. Check that you have write access to this file.

I am using a DVD-R installation disc. Could this be the problem?
