Title:
  Failed fresh install of Linux  - Grub2 unable to install to /target

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The issue occurs every time I try to install Linux 18.04 (but had similar results with 16.04 release).
  It never gets past the grub2 install.

  Happens with the auto install and erase disk, or by formatting the
  disk and having a predefined EFI partition + swap following
  instructions already provided in similar reported issues online.

  Logs to come.
