[Bug 1614112] Re: Grub failed to install during xubuntu installation

[Jim Read]

I'm no expert with this, but did you format your disk with a DOS
partition table? if so installing on a UEFI machine will fail. They
don't go together.

The best way to fix this (if I'm right, and I'm not sure) is to reformat
your hard disk with a GPT partition table instead. It's generally a
better idea anyhow as it allows for more primary partitions, so you
don't have to deal with extended partitions (in most cases)
