[Bug 1078363] [NEW] GRUB failed to install on 'dummy'.

[Sam]

Public bug reported:

Note: This is a Ubuntu Secure Remix 12.10 Live USB. I will attempt again
with a normal Ubuntu Live USB.


Second attempt to dual-boot install Ubuntu on a brand new Lenovo Z580 after the first install's GRUB was mysteriously overwritten by the preloaded Windows 8.

I chose to format the / and /home mountpoints. I assumed the UEFI system
partition was automatically selected.
