Public bug reported:
This all happened while installing Ultimate 3.4 onto an existing
machine, doing a clean install on a partition that was used for an
earlier installation of Ultimate-Edition. I was installing to existing
partition sda8, but at the end of the install, I was told that the
bootloader couldn't be installed onto /dev/sdb . Now it just happens
that I removed 3 USB drives during the install, leaving just the
internal sda disk drive. I didn't think removing external USB drives
would affect anything, but maybe it did. But more than this trouble,
the dialog asking me what to do and giving me some radio button choices,
wouldn't work. I selected to continue without a bootloader, but if/when
I clicked on the OK button, nothing would happen. It was a little
difficult making selections with the mouse due to the mouse cursor being
a blue rotating ball, but I was able to figure out what part of the ball
could make selections. Nevertheless clicking on the OK button would do
nothing. I finally hit the escape key which caused a message to pop up
that the installer had crashed.
I now hope that if/when I reboot into the ubuntu linux on sda6, that
I'll be able to run update-grub and add the Ultimate-Edition to the grub
menu.
