The error in your log is:

Could not find /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Would you like /boot/grub/menu.lst generated for you? (y/N) /usr/sbin/update-grub: line 1094: read: read error: 0: Bad file descriptor

I don't know why the script failed in this particular way, but this shows that you have the 'grub' package installed on your system which is grub version 1. Why do you have this installed? All supported versions of Ubuntu use grub-pc (grub version 2) by default.
