[Bug 1781052] [NEW] GRUB was not installed and Ubuntu installation failed

[Danilo Brito Steckelberg]

Public bug reported:

I tried to install Ubuntu 18.04 using USB ISO installer, and GRUB fails
to install, hence, Ubuntu cannot be installed. The first run after
installation opens screen with "minimal BASH-like line editing is
supported [...]". I am trying to install Ubuntu on a Samsung notebook
(Expert model), with Windows 10.
