[Bug 1976585] Re: Ubiquity Installer Crash (Consistently Repeatable)

[scott]

I only had the one. Maybe try:

- Remove the other nvme, install, put the nvme back, update-
grub/initramfs(?) to detect windows.

- apt-update/upgrade from the desktop beforehand. Creating the install
usb from Rufus allows you to create a bigger fs that can store all of
that. You just have to make sure you increase the size.

Not sure what to try after that. The setup has always seemed very
fragile to me. But, I'm glad they got support for zfs. We can
troubleshoot some more, send me a message with 'contact this user' on
'scott'. If we get it working then we can post the solution here.
