Public bug reported:
I'm trying to install the grub bootloader through Ubiquity on an
unencrypted partition (/dev/sda3) which is 20MBB. The /boot is supposed
to be in the encrypted LUKS container along with /root (in /dev/sda4
mapped at /dev/mapper/root_crypt for example).
During ubiquityinstallation, I can select /dev/sda3 which is neat. However, it
then crashes saying it failed to install grub on that particular partition
(ext4). I don't see any output in terminal when starting ubiquity from there.
Error popup is: "Executin 'grub-install /dev/sda3' failed. This is a fatal
error."
Suggestion: have the option NOT to install any bootloader at all, in the
Bootloader installation drop-down menu (during manual install).
That way, users can manually install the grub bootloader anywhere they want,
and add any additional arguments if necessary (--force for example, in case of
a VBR).
