Title:
  grub install fails during install of Ubuntu Studio 13.10 Beta2 64bit
  on Asus EEEPC 1215B

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
