I'm experiencing this same problem. I can't install Ubuntu 18.04 or
Kubuntu 18.04. The installer crashes, or reports that grub cannot be
installed and then crashes.

Look like it might have something to do with UEFI? I am running on a Dell system.
Possible duplicate of Bug #1765562 and Bug #1753134?

I think it is not related to UEFI...
It is related to GPT disk type.

Beacuse my friend installed in uefi mode but it doesn't have gpt disk
type. The one another reason of this bug to relate to GPT beacuse
installer crashing in my virtual machine too(which also have gpt).

Found out for me, that if GNOME uses scaling 200% the installer crashed
at loading of the images which say Welcome to Ubuntu, etc. Try using a
100% DISPLAY scaling and no issues during installing.

I hope this info helps someone.

Thank you, Kevin. It helped.

I can confirm that the display scale setting "200%" causes a crash in
ubiquity. I have a 4K display. The first thing I do after Ubuntu boots
from Live USB is to adjust the scale factor to 200%. The installer
crashed at every attempt. It worked only after I left the scale at 100%.

Ummm... => the X.org powered 18.04 does not support fractional display scaling?
Or am I missing anything?
