[Bug 1851560] Re: Install 19.10 on Alieanware Steammachine R2

[Sønke Lorenzen]

Thank you for looking into this.

The error came at the bootloader install part. I do not remember the
exact wording and did not take a screenshot, but it was at least similar
to what UbiquitySyslog.txt logged:

Nov  6 19:57:37 ubuntu /plugininstall.py:     "GrubInstaller failed with code %d" % ret)
Nov  6 19:57:37 ubuntu /plugininstall.py: ubiquity.install_misc.InstallStepError: GrubInstaller failed with code 1

I was able to install grub from a chroot and then boot and it is a
working system. There where leftovers since the cleanup part was not
run. I did find some installed packages named with ubiquity which I
uninstalled.

But looking at UbiquitySyslog.txt which start at September 26 I now
realize that I used the beta installer from September 26. The September
26 part of that log is from another and successful install on a
different system.

Since I did not use this install much, I will download the released
installer and remove the partitions created by this install and try
again to see if it the new installer will install grub successfully.

And report back here about how that goes.

Title:
  Install 19.10 on Alieanware Steammachine R2

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I attempted to install 19.10 on an Alienware Steammachine R2 along
  SteamOS 2.0 and got an error at the end. The installation was to a
  nvme where I had left around 140GB unused partition space, which the
  installer chose correctly. SteamOS is installed on a separate
  harddisk.
