[Bug 1775680] Re: i am having grub installation failure, says package wont install without grub boot loader

[Seth Arnold]

Jun  7 18:11:05 ubuntu ubiquity: grub-install: error: cannot find EFI
directory.

It looks a bit like you've tried to use an EFI installer but do not have
an EFI partition on your hard drive.

I hope this helps.

Thanks
