Bug Description
I chose the manual partitioning option.
I first created a new partition table.
Then I created a 5 GB swap at the beginning of the disk (RAM is 4GB)
I left a 1 GB gap in the middle of the disk, unpartitioned, to not use up the entire disk.
Then I created a 300-something GB XFS partition at the end of the disk.
Installation continues until grub tries to install and fails. Grub says that it has failed. I opted to continue without installing the bootloader. Upon finishing the installation, ubiquity also crashed, which is what this apport report caught. The real problem appears to be with grub/partman though.
