Hello.
I have just spent about five hours unsuccessfully trying to install each
of Linux Mint Mate 21.1, Linux Mint Mate 21, and UbuntuMate 22.04 .
It goes through the installation process, then terminates with the
unintelligible error
"Unable to install GRUB (as superuser)
Executing 'grubinstall failed.
This is a fatal error"
From memory, this has been a systemic problem with the installation
process - I am not the only one who has suffered from this
unintelligible error.
I have been trying to install on a system with MS Windows 10 installed.
I have tried installing both with, and, without, creating the required
EFI partition.
I have gone into BIOS, and turned off every security thing that I could
find.
And still, it refuses to install, without any explanation of why.
Why is it not installing?
Linux Mint is unsupported, but, it is based on Ubuntu, and, uses
underlying Ubuntu installation processing, and, the Ubuntu
non-installation process gives the same failure.
