[Bug 1624032] [NEW] Installation of ubuntu failed to install grub2

[Praveen Kumar]

Public bug reported:

I have an Alienware and I am trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10. Initially i had secure boot off and BIOS in UEFI. Ubuntu gave me a black screen once i hit install ubuntu on the boot loader.
Then I changed the options and added nomodeset to the splash screen.Ubuntu installation started but however failed during the installation of the grub saying "failed to install grub-efi to target".
Tried in secure boot mode on and also off. Please advise. It is getting critical.
