I managed to install afterwards and may have an idea why it crashed. I decided to encrypt my disk this time as part of the fresh install. I prefer to have a separate partition for my /home. But, as this was my first journey into the world of encryption, I was pretty much fumbling around in the dark.
I manually created 2 encrypted partitions (one for / and one for /home) via the Disks tool and used these for install (as I usually do with unencrypted partitions). And then it failed as reported. Twice. Then I gave up, used the built in encryption in the installer (i.e. letting the installer decide what partitions I need). Doing this, everything worked just fine. After install, looking at the partition layout that the installer created, I see a small, unencrypted partition for /boot. This is probably what caused this crash: Nowhere outside encryption to put /boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241193 Title: Trying to install 13.10 form live USB.
