Bug Description

I've created the USB installation disk with Unetboot, started the installation wizard.

After starting the desktop and the installation, the process fails with an error message.

The popup message asks for another location to write the boot-loader.

The selection I've made.
- Download updates while installing
- Install 3th party software

- Erase disk and install Ubuntu Budgie
- Encrypt the new installation
- Use LVM

After the installation process is cancelled, I've restarted to installation.

This time without the encryption, but the installation cannot continue "error informing kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda1 - device or resource is busy......"

You tried to install grub to /dev/dm-0, which is an LVM logical volume. It must be installed to a hard disk ( /dev/sda ).
