[Bug 1769389] [NEW] The grub2 installer failed to install

[Pranav Vyas]

Public bug reported:

I am using a Windows 10 PC with 8 GB RAM, with bitlocker installed on
the Windows drive. I created a new partition for Ubuntu and wanted to
install it alongside Windows 10. The installer did not automatically
recognize that my PC has a Windows 10 so I used the 'choose other
settings option'. The installed failed to install the grub2 and
terminated.
