Title:
  Installer crashed, cannot set up GRUB

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I tried booting up Ubuntu from a live disk on USB

  Every time I try it, the installer crashes when trying to set up GRUB.
  I'm running on an ASUS UX301L and I've already removed my other OS,
  Windows 8. I've also tried to use the boot repair, but it says
  something about me needing to create a boot partition
