Public bug reported: After installing Ubuntu 18.04, while the destination PC has internet access, the installation results in an unbootable state where you cannot get passed the GRUB minimal BASH-like interface. This occurs whether a "normal" or "minimal" install is selected, "download updates" or not, and "third party packages" or not. However, if all internet access is removed (no WiFi or ethernet) then the installer works, and I an boot into Ubuntu. I suspect that the installer downloads updates for Ubiquity or GRUB if possible, but I am not for sure. There are a number of people reporting this issue since yesterday as well.
