[Bug 1782929] Re: 18.04 install failed because the grub installation failed.

[Greg Shoults]

Phillip,

Thanks for the reply. How do I choose which mode to boot up in? This is
the first version of Ubuntu to give me this issue. (After sending this
error message I installed 16.04 with no issues.)

Thanks again!
Greg
