[Bug 1572828] [NEW] Installer crashed after failure to install grub.

[Tom Westerfield]

Public bug reported:

Installing from the "Install Ubuntu Studio 16.04 icon on the live system
desktop. Installer reported that installation of grub had failed. I then
clicked on the selection to skip  installation of grub bootloader.
Installer then crashed. I saw this on an earlier load (20160324)

Install DVD is 16.04 amd64 RC marked 20160419

ububtu-studio 4.4.0-21-lowlatency #37-Ubunt SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 18
20:20:26 UTC  2016

grub package 0.97-29ubuntu68

I can tolerate the failure to install grub - manual install is easy
workaround. However, the installer crash is not a very graceful way to
handle the problem.
