Error - elementary/installer GitHub Wiki

In the case of a failure, the results are potentially catastrophic. This likely points to hardware failure, and their install is in an unknown state.

The best we can do is tell the user something bad happened and let them:

  1. Try the installation again,
  2. Use Demo Mode and try to manually recover, or
  3. Restart their device to boot from another drive

…in that order of preference. The "Try Installing Again" button would be the primary/suggested action, with "Try Demo Mode" in the secondary position and "Restart Device" in the tertiary position.

We can also add a terminal output widget here for debugging purposes, in case the back-end spits out something that may be useful to the user.
