Bug Description
I understand very little about all this, so I can't help much. I'm trying to install Ubuntu alongside with Windows. I reserved 50 GB from the disk (seemingly there is just one physical disk) and I tried to install Ubuntu from a USB. Everything goes fine until, as far as I understand, the installer tries to install the grub-installer programme. At this point the installer crashes. I've tried a second time, and I've got the same error.
