Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted
the installer in EFI mode. You either need to boot the installer in bios
mode, 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:
  i just downloaded a Ubuntu Mate brand new and got the same crash of
  installer at the very end , same bootloder failure again

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  i have a dual boot set up, i put in a brand new windows 10 on my main
  drive and attempted to put a new live usb version of Ubuntu Mate 18.04
  lts nothing special just followed the installer prompts, nothing
  fancy. all was new, and again i get the same problem. i tried to
  eliminate all my potential mistakes and hoped for the best, but no.
  apparently , the installer put a version onto the partition but cant
  boot into it, but i am not sure. why it waits till the very end to
  notify of a crash is not good. it would turn most people away from
  ubuntu totally. i have endured over a dozen tries both plain ubuntu 18
  and mate versions on live cd and live use. cant make it go. even the
  workaround , installing the bootloader through the repair method ,
  copy/paste failed to boot into the supposed system what's up. dont
  want any new linux users? isnt good.
