Public bug reported: I have tried to open gparted, removed all partitions and created one 150 MB at the beginning (unformated grub_bios flag), then one 4GB less than max (ext4), then the rest 3.72 GB (linux-swap).
Then I ran boot-repair - everything went smooth (summary: Boot successfully repaired. Please write on a paper the following URL: http://paste2.org/tFf8f5hY In case you still experience boot problem, indicate this URL to: boot.rep...@gmail.com or to your favorite support forum. You can now reboot your computer.) Then I tried to install ubuntu, using the USB stick that I am running the live session with. Made the Ext4 mount point at "/" and began to install.. everything went fine until the "grub2 installation" then a failure message appeared and the installation closed. Thanks for any advices..
