[Bug 1797757] Re: Failed installing grub on fresh new install editing partitions

[Antonio Arauzo-Azofra]

It seems that the reason for this failure was that there was no EFI
partition. Probably this can be detected and reported with a more
informative error message.

Anyway, instalation with EFI partition did not boot. The only solution I
found for this computer was to disable UEFI boot at BIOS(UEFI).

Title:
  Failed installing grub on fresh new install editing partitions

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  At the end of GUI guided installation, the system reports not being
  able to install grub and brought me here to report.

  I enabled third party drivers. I do not know if this has something to
  do. The logical partition 6 is new, formated and set to be /. There
  was another partition with an old Ubuntu 13.04 installation.
