[Bug 1770955] [NEW] installer crashes on grup setup

[Vinzenz Schroeter]

Public bug reported:

I tried to install Ubuntu 18.04
I choose install updates and 3rd party proprietary stuff
My self specified partition setup was 4gb of swap and the rest ext4 for root
I have a raid 10 "disk", but the one I tried to install to was a 2**gb Samsung Evo SSD

The error message said that the grup bootloader creation failed. I
expected it to finish the installation.

I am reporting this from the live session and I do not know where which
special character is, so sorry for that. That is why I cannot write the
path of the log file properly.
