Public bug reported: This does sound similar to 1332295, which was offered by the system, but I was using Unbuntu 12.xx (after failing even sooner with 15 and 14).
I use the universal installer to put Ubunto on an SD card in an external USB device. It boots okay from there, except that the graphics driver only supports a low resolution and I can't upgrade on the USB/SD. Before trying to install made some empty partition space on both of my drives (C: SSD and D: RAID). At install time I chose "alongside windows", not realizing that (apparently) the third option was required to let me use that space. Anyway, I got the warning about grub and maybe one more thing (the log was sent automatically, if I understand and remember what I saw). By the way, the "information will be sent when you close this window" step failed the first time hitting the button did nothing except make the button pulse. I went through the whole process a second time, hit the button quickly, and it worked. Linux was so easy in the old days! I just want something to do occasional tasks with, and I can't seem to install this any way I try. The machine has an ASUS X-79 motherboard, 8 GB ram, 6-core processor, and Windows 7 Pro. Graphics card is the first nVidia card I found that would handle my big LG screen. Sorry to be vague.
