Per UbiquitySyslog.txt, it seems as though Ubiquity is running as the wrong user. Not sure what is causing this.

To troubleshoot, even though the logs were showing permissions errors, I threw a "hail mary" and installed "ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu". It installed perfectly fine. This would serve as a workaround in the live session. In the meantime, Imma go resurrect the old ubiquity-slideshow-edubuntu and get it seeded.
