Public bug reported:
Image is Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 LTS
written to USB 2.0 UFD via Gnome-Disks/Writer in Ubuntu Desktop 16.04.4 LTS
Custom partitioning
ESP offset=4MiB size=4512MiB(DVD-5) align=2MiB
WNX size=23552MiB(23GiB) align=2MiB Ntfs
LNX size=23552MiB(23GiB) align=2MiB Btrfs
repeatedly tried with all possible install-targets given in ubiquity
(ESP/BIOSBOOT/LNX)
booted via BIOS/UEFI/CLOVER
doesn't make a difference if booted direct into ubiquity, or started from live
manual (grub-pc/grub-efi) install ain't problematic at all under given
custom conditions
so i would point pinky to ubiquity, not grub-installer per se
this was the first time in 7 tries that bug-reporting actually
proceeded/attempts to handle error automatically before stalled ubiquity
to total halt/even killing by pid had no effect (as if it endlessly
respawns immediately trying to start collecting dumps;
That should be it from here; as i have no idea how to debug in such a
case and neither am willed to do right now;
For those that wonder about the alignment and offset; constant
autocreation of full raw image dumps to udf 2.01 to DVD-SL-5-/BD-SL-25-
-images, which is speed-up immense, in such a setting; Reason for the
dumps is not of interest (here).
System is HP EliteBook 2740P Core-i5 2.53GHz VPro IronLake HD 8GiB 80GB
Intel SSD with AMT/ME enabled and prepared for TXT Boot; Virtualization
VT-d/EPT(IOMMU) and HyperThreading enabled, to allow nested virt boot of
non-active os raw-vmdk/partition-boot with host-cpu-features shadowed.
Well, whatever; Feel free to sort it out or not. I'm done with probing
ubiquity further and go on manually.
Oh, by the way: the keyboard detection/probing/guessing works as usual
in subiquity, but ubiquity selects 104-key generic de, instead given
105-key de-nodeadkeys.
