Title:
  Installer crashed after hitting escape key during a dialog

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This all happened while installing Ultimate 3.4 onto an existing
  machine, doing a clean install on a partition that was used for an
  earlier installation of Ultimate-Edition.  I was installing to
  existing partition sda8, but at the end of the install, I was told
  that the bootloader couldn't be installed onto /dev/sdb .  Now it just
  happens that I removed 3 USB drives during the install, leaving just
  the internal sda disk drive.  I didn't think removing external USB
  drives would affect anything, but maybe it did.  But more than this
  trouble, the dialog asking me what to do and giving me some radio
  button choices, wouldn't work.  I selected to continue without a
  bootloader, but if/when I clicked on the OK button, nothing would
  happen.  It was a little difficult making selections with the mouse
  due to the mouse cursor being a blue rotating ball, but I was able to
  figure out what part of the ball could make selections.  Nevertheless
  clicking on the OK button would do nothing.  I finally hit the escape
  key which caused a message to pop up that the installer had crashed.

  I now hope that if/when I reboot into the ubuntu linux on sda6, that
  I'll be able to run update-grub and add the Ultimate-Edition to the
  grub menu.
