[Bug 1743706] [NEW] Ubuntu won't be installed after many attempts

[Shakib Molavi]

Public bug reported:

Hi
As I'm new to Linux, I have tried to install Ubuntu many times, but every time I have faced with a new error message or a misbehaviour.
Last time that I tried, everything went well, OS was installed, but after reboot when the bootable-usb was mounted, it took me to the installation page (Try Ubuntu, Install Ubuntu, OEM installation & disk check-up) AND when usb was unmounted, it took me to a black screen, seems a command page with no title and no ability to type down anything, though there was a cursor blinking.
This attempt I have made new partiotions, a root "/" , swap area and home "/home" and have chosen to install bootloader on its default value (my disk name indeed). And during installation I have faced with "GRUB installation failed" message that took me to this page to write it in forum.

I'd appreciate any help as I have few information around Linux. I'd ask
you to provide me information about which partitions I need to make
during installation and how much of space each (previously it was 8GB
swap, 80GB root and the rest as home).

To be noted, I have had Win. 10 installed on drive C, and had two other
drives as data which I want to be conserved, so I have tried all these
by formatting drive C in partition stage of Ubuntu installation. That's
because on windows I had disk problems which made me to install new OS.

Thanks for your help
