[Bug 1783739] Re: Installation Grub 2 failed in new empty hard drive

[Phillip Susi]

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted
the installer in EFI mode. You either need to boot the installer in bios
mode, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system partition
to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you choose the "use
entire disk" guided install option.

Title:
  Installation Grub 2 failed in new empty hard drive

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I bought a new SSD hard drive to replace an HDD where I already had
  Ubuntu 18.04 working, so it is not a problem from the UEFI or computer
  related, I guess.

  I followed the installation steps, `Something else..`, I created a new
  partition table and two partitions: 20GB for / and the rest for /home,
  as always.

  I used the same USB to install Ubuntu in another computer yesterday,
  so it should not be that either.
