[Bug 1740046] [NEW] ubuntu installer crashes during installation from USB

[Rob Teszka]

Public bug reported:

Installing ubuntu 17.10 from live USB. The live desktop works fine,
installer runs, allows me to partition drives and set mount points,
connects to wifi, downloads programs, etc.

However, several minutes into the process, it stops and shows an error
message that it was unable to install GRUB on / so the system won't be
able to boot. Then it exits the installer.

Situation: I am installing onto a SSD + HDD combination. The SSD is to
mount / and hold the bootloader, while the HDD has an existing /home
partition so I'm -not- formatting it.

Possible clue: I started the USB installer in UEFI mode from my bios,
but near the beginning of installation I received a warning that I was
installing onto media with a legacy bios and that pushing on with UEFI
will prevent the old system from booting. I assumed that was ok, as I
was just going to format the old / partition on the HDD.

Attached are /var/log/partman and /var/log/syslog

Any ideas?

[Bug 1312051] Re: Upstart init process consuming all ram

[Rob Teszka]

I have been getting this bug repeatedly on 16.04 LTS. After about say 2
hours of uptime everything is extremely slow and unresponsive, even just
editing text files. I have to log into a different console with
ctrl+alt+f1 to do anything. According to top, upstart is using about
100% CPU and around 40% memory. It's intermittent, only happens about
every 4-5 reboots or so, but boy is it annoying. Any suggestions? Any
logs I can post to help diagnose?
