installation not finished on ubuntu 14.04

[jeaye]

Installation finished. No error reported. is from nix, not nixos-in-place. The installation was still going but failed. If you'd like to debug further, please consider these steps:

1. Verify that /dev/sda is your device. Hop into cfdisk or similar and look around.
2. Try having bash be more verbose: bash -x ./install <your args>; this will show the failing command
3. Consider using Ubuntu 15.10, as in #4 someone mentioned it was more reliable (that's where all my testing has happened)

Okie dokie, I'll give 14.04 a shot in a VM on my end and see what's
going on. Thanks for looking into this.

@davidak One quick thing, is your LVM setup encrypted? nixos-in-place works with LVM, but doesn't yet work with encrypted setups.

no
