[Erik Hricka]

Public bug reported:

I have uninstalled GRUB manually because a wanted to uninstall ubuntu in
dual boot PC (second os is Windows 10). However, after that I can't boot
into ubuntu or windows. I am stuck because it seems like I don't have
any bootloader. I have tried to reinstall ubuntu, so GRUB will be
installed with it, and I will have at least one bootable operating
system. Aaaand there is an error with installing GRUB... so I am f at cked
for now...
