Bug Description

I tested in my Toshiba laptop (the same as in bug #1781015) and in the same way. There seems to be a new bug now. The installation proceeded a long way, but stopped with the following message:

---
Error

Installation failed

External command finished with errors.
Command calamares-logs-helper /tmp/calamares-root-ucej4awq finished with exit code 1.

Hey, it works. :D

Since this was set to calamares instead of calamares-settings-ubuntu, unfortunately LP didn't automatically close it... but the fix has been uploaded and has migrated already.

I set UEFI to secure boot (and tested in Swedish, still 'only' with 'Erase disk') in my Toshiba.

The installation worked and the installed system works (with secure boot enabled, so now it is tested sucessfully too).
