[Bug 1685051] Re: grub-installer fails to install during installation

[Phillip Susi]

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted
the installer in EFI mode. A warning message prompted you that this
could be a problem and recommended performing a bios mode install
instead, but you chose not to. You either need to perform the bios mode
install, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system
partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you
choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.

Title:
  grub-installer fails to install during installation

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have a Lenovo Flex 2-15 and I recently installed Ubuntu Studio on
  it. After many tries, I was able to successfully install it. After a
  couple of days, my computer was acting weird again, so I would have to
  boot from live cd  to try and reinstall Ubuntu Studio again.
  Everything was going smoothly until it came time to install the grub2
  package,and that is when the installer crashed.
