[Bug 1631653] [NEW] Bootloader grub2 not installed by installing Ubuntu 12.4 LTS with live-usb

[Appaix]

Public bug reported:

I am (re)installing Ubuntu on my desktop.
I created on a USB key an installer by downloading Ubuntu iso 12.04 LTS on the website, then I used the dedicated tool to create the installer available on the Ubuntu OS "Startup Disk Creator".

Then, I restarted the computer and booted on the USB.
I formatted the old Ubuntu partitions on my drives to have something entirely "new".

I tried to install two times Ubuntu with the installer on USB, first
time setting the "/" location as logic and second time as primary. I
dedicated only 10Gb to "/" on my SSD and tried to create the "/home"
directory on my 2nd hard drives (HDD). For this latter, I also tried
both "logic" and "primary" settings.

However, every scenarios led me to the fianl error "grub2 could not been
installed"...

And now, I reporting you the issue...

Any helps or debugging stuff to do for you ?

On my side, I cannot live with computer (ha ha :-) ) so I will attempt
to repair grub with repair-tool.
