[Bug 1815303] [NEW] kubuntu 18.04 installer failed - unable to install Grub

[Joseph Vincent Couch]

Public bug reported:

I had upgraded Grub due to automatic upgrade in Discover.  System failed
to boot next day (first boot after install).  Looked for various grub
re-install options through try Linux but several failed so decided to
re-install.  On re-install didn't select EFI partition as machine is
dual boot - didn't want to overwrite Windows FAT.  Interestingly I think
I did select for installation of bootloader when first installed 18.04
kubuntu so will try that next time.
