[Bug 1654757] [NEW] Unable to Install Grub2 on Mac

[Henry Foster]

Public bug reported:

I have tried several times to install Ubuntu onto an old MacBook.

I have tried for several days and nothing. I have followed instructions
but everything has failed so far.

It is working fine on LiveCD, it is just Grub that's an issue.
