[Bug 1767508] [NEW] Installation of Ubuntu 18.04 on Intel / Dell Laptop fails

[experimancer]

Public bug reported:

I created Ubuntu 18.04 installer using Unetbootin to my Usb-drive,
started it and proceeded in installing, but itfails in the middle of
bootloader creation and stops there.

Expected results: Ubuntu 18.04 gets installed to my hard disk on
partition of its own.
