[Bug 1803042] [NEW] grub installation failed

[Yu (Br) Shen]

Public bug reported:

The ubuntu installer reported not able to install a grub bootloader at a
partition of its own choosing, which is on SSD drive. I asked me to
select a different partition, but I have no knowledge to decide which is
good, so I choose the sda the hard disk, it still failed.

My compute is Dell Alienware 15 with a SSD drive, which is used for
Windows 10, and a hard drive. It's mainly used for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,
which I decided to be replaced by Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
