Comment 4 for bug 80683

Hi!

same problem, but I looked a bit more and was now able to copy the
trace (right-click, copy)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 166, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 161, in main
    install(sys.argv[1])

    raise RuntimeError, ("Install failed with exit code %s\n%s" %
RuntimeError: Install failed with exit code 1

    raise InstallStepError(
InstallStepError: GrubInstaller failed with code 1

Essentially this is the same error I experienced when using the default hd0
