[Bug 1375740] Re: Grub fails to install with Kubuntu 14.04.01 LTS LiveUSB - Try Kubuntu Option

[Phillip Susi]

Your /dev/sdb drive completely died during install from a severe
hardware problem, then you tried to install grub to /dev/sda, which
apparently is a Windows dynamic disk.  This is not possible.  You either
need to convert this disk back to a basic one, or install grub to
another disk and configure your system to boot from that one instead.

Title:
  Grub fails to install with Kubuntu 14.04.01 LTS LiveUSB - Try Kubuntu
  Option

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

Bug description:
  First I had trouble with danish language system setting, but i guess
  thats a different bug

  This install is default language settings, with additional language
  support downloaded as asked by the 'Try Kubuntu' option when loaded.

  Language setting: default
  Locale setting: Copenhagen ...
  Keyboard setting: Danish

  The grub should install to a windows disk. It failed to access the
  disk and so did Dolphin. Then i ran Dolphin as: 'sudo Dolphin' which
  gave following error, but was able to access the windows drive:

  Then I tried: 'sudo ubiquity kde_ui' It ran up until the Grub install.
  No error message in terminal window, but a dialog window telling
  about: 'Grub install failed, this is a fatal error'

  Next after running: 'ubuntu-bug ubiquity' it gave the following:

  ----
