[Bug 1725274] [NEW] Executing 'grub-install dummy' failed on 17.10

[Greg Williams]

Public bug reported:

Cannot install 17.10, every attempt (UEFI, Legacy, preformatted, guided
formatted, etc) fails with message; Executing 'grub-install dummy'
failed.

Can someone please tell me the commands for manually installing grub
onto 17.10?

The installer works fine to install grub using ubuntu 17.04. I am using
mini.iso to try to install 17.10. I noticed this same bug during beta
work but assumed it would be fixed by stable release. It hasn't been.
