Title:
  executing grub-install failed

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Performing a new install on a SSD device (sdc).

  Installing xubuntu itself to a new ext4 partition on the drive seems
  to work fine, but at the end of the installer it crashes with the
  error:

  "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sdc' failed. This is a fatal error"

  The drive also has a new 512MB EFI partition created through the
  installer.
