[Bug 1436307] Re: Ubiquity crashed while installing grub2

[Phillip Susi]

You are attempting to install go a GPT partitioned disk.  This requires
the use of either an EFI system partition ( if you are booting in UEFI
mode ), or a bios_grub partition for booting in bios mode, as you appear
to be doing.  You will need to create a 1 mb bios_grub partition during
the partitioning phase of installation.

Title:
  Ubiquity crashed while installing grub2

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This occured on a system with an intel i3, a MSI H81M-P33 mainboard
  and a Samsung SSD 850 EVO. The installer booted from a usb3 stick
  (Corsair Survivor). In the System was also a classic HDD with an old
  Ubuntu installation on it.

  The installation was Ubuntu 14.10.

  I expected the installation to finish. Instead it showed that this is
  a srious error. It would help if I got information at this point on
  how to solve the problem by hand.
