Public bug reported: 1. What happened: An install of Ubuntu Studio 13.10 Beta-2 failed on a ASUS EEEPC 1215B netbook and I am mostly trusting the system to fill in the rest of the bug report. In case it does not the problem was in the grub install step.
The system had a wired connection to the internet and downloaded updates before it failed. It also fails if the network connection is pulled. If it is started in "try it" mode a wifi configuration can be set up but the wifi configuration does not persist. The laptop previously had an Ubuntu Studio 12 as the only operating system. It has UEFI and the USB drive with the Ubuntu Studio 13.10 Beta 2 was booted in UEFI mode. The new Studio 13 was installed with "erase/replace". At the grub install failure I was given a modal dialogue by the installer there was a critical error and given some dialogue boxes to click through to report the error, and then asked to log in to launchpad. 2. What I expected to happen: I expected Ubuntu Studio to install normally. Also the system must have had some working grub in the MBR from the previous install of Ubuntu 12.
