This happens also when I try to install Kubuntu Groovy, the only thing that's different is that after the "grub-install /dev/sda failed" dialog there is for 1-2 seconds a window telling "Sorry the installer had crashed" which disappears again without interventention, and then there is dialog with the following message:
"The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again." That dialog sends you to the live session. But that seems to be the only difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu - the installation will boot despite the failure, but is "not complete", as described above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893964 Title: Installation of Ubuntu Groovy in VirtualBox with manual partitioning fails on 'grub-install /dev/sda' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1893964/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
