[Bug 1825561] [NEW] grub loader not installed cannot load os

[Christopher Doreau]

Public bug reported:

I am not sure if it's the fact that AMD 64 version is installed. Ubuntu
18.04 LTS attempted to install and it says it failed to install Grub
loader so upon start up the OS will not bootup. I have an older laptop a
Sony Vaio VGN-Z620N which originally used Windows Vista Business (32
bit) but can no longer find drivers so after HDD failed and replaced
with SSD attempted to reload original OS but cannot find all drivers and
thus no WLAN or Video feed thru HDMI so I attempted to install Ubuntu.
Not sure if I should install another version of Ubuntu or what I am
missing....
