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

[Imanol Ur]

Public bug reported:

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.
