[Bug 1224622] [NEW] grub won't boot after fresh ubuntu installation, manual installation is the only solution

[Nicolás José Diego Narváez Barría]

Public bug reported:

It has happen to me, in really, really, many computers, the firsts times
that happened, y just reinstalled ubuntu, and in the second installation
it get to work, what it is really weird.

Now that i know more about linux and bash im able to install it manually
without any problem, what is weird to, normally a said to the ubuntu
installer to install bootloader in the disk, instead on a specific
partition, the last two times i did the same with the same results.

I wonder, if a new user comes out, just wanting to know more ubuntu, and
installs ubuntu 13.04, and it show to hem/her a brick computer, i dont
think it is a god way to win users, i want to help in this bug the next
time it happens, or if you say me how, giving logs to you guys so you
can fix it..., just tel me what to do.

I have 2 computers that have presented this behavior with me, so i can
search for intallation logs or something, and this comes happening from
a long time, i remembered installing a ubuntu 12.10 or 12.04 with th
same results.
