Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Ubuntu 21.10 (impish) reached end-of-life on July 14, 2022.

The Ubiquity installer is now unmaintained as it has been replaced by
either the 'Ubuntu Desktop Installer' or 'Calamares' starting with the
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS release. So this bug report is being closed as
'Invalid' as the reported issue will not be fixed.

Title:
  Install alongside Windows 10 crashed during Xubuntu install

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I was installing Xubuntu 21.10 alongside Windows 10 on a Dell Optiplex
  9020 minitower. Both installations are new. The Xubuntu installer
  divided the WD 1 terabyte SSD in half, which I thought would be fair
  to both operating systems.

  Near the end of the install a fatal error message popped  up. I
  believe it said there was a problem with Grub.  Unfortunately I cannot
  append the logs in this email: the running Xubuntu won't let me access
  or copy the logs. If you email me at tomreed1 at earthlink.net, I'll get
  into this computer, and copy the log files /var/log/syslog and
  var/log/partman and mail them from my own regular Linux Mint computer.
  Thank you for whatever help you can provide me, and I'll check for
  email from you tonight after work.
