[Bug 1291287] [NEW] ubuntu installation fails with "grub install dummy" failed

[Arno Waschk]

Public bug reported:

I tried just plain installation of a recent 14.04 nightly build which
had worked fine on another machine. Now it fails without giving me any
further explanations than that "grub instll dummy" failed. Who is
"dummy"?
