[Bug 1868292] Re: Install "failed to install grub" (automatic crash report failed to connect to crash database)

[Brian Murray]

The UbiquitySyslog.txt file contains lines like the following many
times:

Mar 20 17:50:34 ubuntu-mate kernel: [ 1876.625066] wlp4s0: Connection to AP 74:da:88:50:00:47 lost
Mar 20 17:50:34 ubuntu-mate wpa_supplicant[1642]: wlp4s0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=74:da:88:50:00:47 reason=4 locally_generated=1

I suspect a disconnect event like this prevented the crash report from
being filed automatically.

Title:
  Install "failed to install grub" (automatic crash report failed to
  connect to crash database)

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  ISO testing 20.04 Mate daily-image (20200320). The installer failed
  with a msg about being unable to install grub on sda2. I didn't spend
  much time memorizing the error msg because it said it would
  automatically report the crash. But, that process failed saying it was
  unable to connect to the crash-reporting database, and I should check
  my network connection. I immediately ran ubuntu-bug from the command
  line, it worked ok (nothing wrong with the network connection).
