[Bug 1685051] [NEW] grub-installer fails to install during installation

[Hans-Florian Moukeka]

Public bug reported:

I have a Lenovo Flex 2-15 and I recently installed Ubuntu Studio on it.
After many tries, I was able to successfully install it. After a couple
of days, my computer was acting weird again, so I would have to boot
from live cd  to try and reinstall Ubuntu Studio again. Everything was
going smoothly until it came time to install the grub2 package,and that
is when the installer crashed.
