[Bug 1592387] [NEW] Grub2 installation fails during a fresh install ubuntu 16.04

[Mayank Modi]

Public bug reported:

its a dual boot with Windows 7. I had created an 8200 MB swp area and
20482MB mount point as / and about 390 GB was with a a mount point
/home. My Windows was installed in UEFI mode and hence i continued
installing Ubuntu 16.04 in the same. The installation exits with an
error that grub2 cant be installed. if I pull out the USB live disc it
shows a black screen with grub 2 recovery(or something similar written).
Could this be because the live disc was created in Ubuntu 15.04?
