[Bug 1434753] Re: Bootloader install fails in VMware Fusion

[Robert Barabas]

Looks like the bug is triggered by selecting LVM.

Also, there appears to be a potential issue with cleanup. After I
cleared the disks manually, removed the complete LVM structure removal
and repartitioned the disk via fdisk I was able to perform a complete
install without selecting LVM again with both the vanilla and the Mate
Ubuntu installer.

Title:
  Bootloader install fails in VMware Fusion

Status in grub-installer:
  New
Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The bootloader attempted to install itself onto /dev/sda5 and failed.
  Settings were the default for partitioning except for LVM which was
  explicitly selected. The hardware in question is a VMware VM. I have
  not seen this error when I installed Ubuntu with the "main" 15.04
  installer.
