[Bug 1775954] Re: grub does not install on ssd hd while doing fresh install of 18.04

[Karl William]

I have also tried to install 18.04 LTS and it failed several times.
Seeking a solution I read somewhere about leaving 1-2 MB of space before efi partition. In the beginning of linux era as I remember there was a practice of leaving some space before adding partitions.
So I did so through Ubuntu installer:
- Create 2 MB FAT32 partition
- Create 1024 MB efi partition
- Create / (root) partition on the rest
- Delete 2 MB partition

Click on Install now!

I haven't changed anything else, just these 2 MB and voila it installed
without any problem!
