[Bug 1598628] [NEW] grub fails to install on fresh install of ubuntu

[Zack]

Public bug reported:

during fresh install (16.04) from USB UEFI, installation fails at
"install grub" step.  Can apparently repair this by using a super GRUB
disc to boot into ubuntu and install grub from there, as this is my 2nd
time installing ubuntu and having this error with this system.  Have
already tried setting mobo (MSI H110 Pro-AC) bios to UEFI only mode.
