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

[adam reynolds]

Same issue, but had full connection to wifi the whole time; installer
tells me that grub installation failed. How... I mean... I could see if
there were an issue with Win10 overwriting a previous Ubuntu/grub
install, but why is it failing when Ubuntu is installed second?

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.
