Bug Description

1) Downloaded ubuntu 14.04-3 on 2015-08-18.
2) Installed onto /dev/sde (PCIe SSD) as LVM partitions.
3) Install goes smoothly.
4) At end of install, GRUB installation fails giving the options of
    a) killing the install
    b) proceeding without a bootloader
    c) installing grub on a particular device
5) First I try c)....on every freaking device. Nada. No soap.
6) Going to b), I attempt boot-repair.
7) "GPT is detected" but no other information.
8) tried to reinstall. Threw this exception.
9) Back to boot-repair???

Best regards,
Jeff
