[Bug 1806215] [NEW] Installation always crashes on part when it installs grub2

[Aleksa Prtenjaca]

Public bug reported:

I had Ubuntu installed on my hard disk before and Kali Linux and Windows
on my SSD. I deleted Kali and Ubuntu and decided to install Ubuntu on
SSD. Then i probably did something wrong, so I ended with not being able
to run Windows from Boot Menu, only grub would start. All Windows files
were there, but i couldn't start it. Then I simply formatted the whole
SSD and installed Windows again. I shrank C: and left 50GB of
Unallocated Space for Ubuntu. Before all of that, I downloaded Ubuntu
18.04.1 LTS and put it on USB using Rufus. I have EFI partition on my
SSD, so in Ubuntu installation i only added /, swap area and /home. I
tried many other things, but none worked. I would really appreciate your
help.
