Public bug reported:
Downloaded Xenial Daily from 2016-03-22 on Windows, created a live USB
using "Linux Live USB creator" and tested on an Inspiron 14 3000 series
laptop, system boots correctly, Xubuntu loading image (boot image) is
displayed, but it seems to fail just before launching the ubiquity
installer, because no language selector nor install/try Xubuntu options
appear, instead, I get a window with following message:
Sorry, Ubuntu 16.04 has experienced an internal error.
If you notice further problems try restarting the computer.
If clicking on the "Show details" button I get this information:

I was unable to connect to the Internet so I couldn't send the report within
the live USB environment, after trying and getting a connection error, a new
window appears with this message:
The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will
now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing
again.
Clicking on the "OK" button on that window will bring a black window
with some white text and then back to a "normal" live graphical session,
with a link to "Install Xubuntu 16.04 LTS" on the desktop.
I'll try to add more information as I can gather it.
