Public bug reported:
I have a Dell XPS 18 computer, which comes with Windows 8 preloaded.
I have modified the boot load to load Legacy OPROM with secure boot
switched OFF.
I am trying to load Ubuntu on the 32GB SSD (seen as sdb) pre-installed
on the XPS 18, leaving Windows 8 on my Samsung 250GB SSD (seen as sda).
When I try to install Ubuntu 14.04 from a USB stick (which I had previously
created), I encounter two problems:
1) no option is presented asking me where the grub bootloader should be
installed in the steps leading up to installation (I wish for it to be loaded
on the same SSD as Ubuntu), and the Ubuntu load crashes with a fatal error at
the end of installation, while trying to install grub on sda; and
2) subsequent to the fatal error, even if I request that grub is installed on
sdb it still encounters a fatal error.
