Hello,
trying to install current daily-live images of Groovy in VirtualBox fails for me when I'm using manual partitioning.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Partition layout I have used in VirtualBox:
* Partition table: MBR
* A single primary ext4 partition (/dev/sda1) using up the entire virtual harddisk with 1 MB free space before start of the partition
2. Boot current Groovy daily-live image, click on "Install Ubuntu"
3. Choose "Something else" (manual partitioning)
4. Select /dev/sda1 as target for '/', check "format partition".
5. Ignore warning about missing EFI system partition.
Result:
The installation proceeds until GRUB is about to be installed.
Then an error dialog appears: "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. This is a fatal error." (screenshot attached).
If I click 'Ok', after a moment Ubiquity nevertheless shows the usual dialog saying "Installation is complete. Please restart." The only option the dialog offered was to click on "Restart now".
After that, booting the failed installation succeeds, but it is obvious that Ubiquity couldn't complete its job: Packages like ubiquity itself, which usually get purged from the fresh system at the end of a successful installation, are still installed. There is also a pop-up in gnome-shell showing an error regarding package management (screenshot attached, not sure if this is related to the failed install).
To send this report, I was running 'sudo ubuntu-bug ubiquity' on the "failed", but nevertheless booting fresh installation.
Kind regards, Jan

Hello,
trying to install current daily-live images of Groovy in VirtualBox fails for me when I'm using manual partitioning without an EFI System Partition (ESP).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Partition layout I have used in VirtualBox:
* Partition table: MBR
* A single primary ext4 partition (/dev/sda1) using up the entire virtual harddisk with 1 MB free space before start of the partition
2. Boot current Groovy daily-live image, click on "Install Ubuntu"
3. Choose "Something else" (manual partitioning)
4. Select /dev/sda1 as target for '/', check "format partition".
5. Ignore warning about missing EFI system partition.
Result:
The installation proceeds until GRUB is about to be installed.
Then an error dialog appears: "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. This is a fatal error." (screenshot attached).
If I click 'Ok', after a moment Ubiquity nevertheless shows the usual dialog saying "Installation is complete. Please restart." The only option the dialog offered was to click on "Restart now".
After that, booting the failed installation succeeds, but it is obvious that Ubiquity couldn't complete its job: Packages like ubiquity itself, which usually get purged from the fresh system at the end of a successful installation, are still installed. There is also a pop-up in gnome-shell showing an error regarding package management (screenshot attached, not sure if this is related to the failed install).
Modifying the setup by creating an ESP manually like described in #7 makes the installation complete successfully without error.
The setups I have tested (my machine and VirtualBox) don't support UEFI or don't have UEFI support enabled respectively (and thus don't actually require an ESP to boot).
To send this report, I was running 'sudo ubuntu-bug ubiquity' on the "failed", but nevertheless booting fresh installation.
Kind regards, Jan
