Ubiquity crashed trying to install grub, the popup appeared asking me to
choose a different destination or continue installing without a bootloader,
unfortunately the computer was not responsive anymore -> I had to
hard-reset the device and install manually.
Afterwards the system worked - kind of. Whatever ubiquity does after
installing grub (clean up??) was never performed, I had a couple of issues
mainly with python related packages, most of them could be fixed by
reinstalling them with apt. At some point however I got fed up (I tried
installing at least 2 times) and installed Fedora instead...
I'm sorry I can't provide more information but I was pretty pissed at that
time...
cheers
