[Bug 1896525] Re: Fatal Error

[ChrisOfBristol]

I had the same or a similar problem with installing Ubuntu Budgie 20.10.

I hadn't checked the disk with Gparted beforehand as I have never had a
problem before and the partitions are normally shown and
selectable/changeable as part of the Ubuntu installation process, which
I assume should detect errors.

I went on install Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 instead and there were no
problems. That suggests to me that there was nothing wrong with my disk
and that the problem was caused by a new version of Ubiquity in 20.10
which has a bug.

Title:
  Fatal Error

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  An error message stated grub could not be installed, but was. The
  installation seemed complete, but there are shared lib errors and
  installed applications were not listed in usr/share/applications.

  I just found that Ubiquity was still on my system and there was an
  install system icon in the menu which was removed after running  sudo
  apt-get remove ubiquity.
