[Bug 1776086] Re: bootloader failed to install

[Phillip Susi]

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:
  bootloader failed to install

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  bootloader failed to install: please see the attached reports from
  apport.

  This is while installing ubuntu-mate-18.04 into dual boot mode with
  existing xubuntu 16.04.3 installation on a separate partition. I was
  trying to install from a bootable pendrive. I do not have screenshots.
  The installer tried to install amd64 version of the bootloader, and
  complained that the operation has failed and that without the
  bootloader the system won't be able to boot. I am yet to check if the
  existing system is booting. Reporting this from the live session from
  which I was trying to install. I should be able to provide
  more/specific information if needed.
