[Bug 1530445] Re: cannot install ubuntu alongside windows 10 on asus x552mj

[Phillip Susi]

Because the windows loader does not know how to load linux.  You *can*
configure it to chain load grub and then you will have the windows boot
loader, choose grub, then it can load linux, but we generally prefer to
do it the other way around.  I'm glad you finally got it going.

Title:
  cannot install ubuntu alongside windows 10 on asus x552mj

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I received this in both cases - when manually creating a partition and
  trying to install grub to /dev/sda4, and when just choosing an option
  "install ubuntu alongside existing OS" - which stupidly does not offer
  an option without swap, but why would one want to create swap on ssd,
  he? I wasted a full day with trying to install latest Ubuntu on a
  normal laptop with a fresh install of Win10. This is really BAD.
