[Bug 1906116] [NEW] The grub installation failed

[Gonçalo Saúde Ribeiro]

Public bug reported:

Grub installation fails reported as fatal error.
I was trying to install Ubuntu 20.04  on my ASUS X555LD-XO334H with Windows 10 installed.
I've created a 70GB clean partition on windows.
Then, I've started from a live USB and did all the steps for install.
On the partition steps, I've created a 2GB ext4 /root partition, then a 4GB swap and the remaining with /.
When I tried to go to next step showed an advise that no EFI partition was created.
I went back, clean the last partition, create a new one, as EFI with 256MB.
Then, I created a ext4 as / with the remaining space.
With that I was able to go to next step, the Time-zone.
After a while I received the message.
The report went automatically to you.

Thanks in advance
