[Bug 1682321] Re: installing 16.04, grub failed to install

[RubeRad]

Yes that matches my experience. When I went through the install again
and went the other way with the bios/uefi decision, everything seemed to
work out.

The text of the final error message, and the text of the BIOS/UEFI
dialog box earlier on, were not sufficient to initially make a
connection in my mind.

Title:
  installing 16.04, grub failed to install

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Tried to upgrade 14.04 to 16.04 from a USB onto an Intel NUC. Gave an
  error at the end about grub failing to install and won't be able to
  boot.

  Tried again, instead of upgrading, reformatted / partition and
  installed, same error.

  This is the automatically generated error, not sure what happens from
  here.

  Will try again, reformatting boot partition as well.
