[Bug 1901259] [NEW] Installing Ubuntu on HP Envy dv7 Notebook PC grub install crashes

[Rob Montalvo]

Public bug reported:

Towards the end of the installation, I got a dialog window that
indicated a failure with grub writing to a certain partition.
Furthermore, it indicated that the failure was fatal (if I remember the
message correctly).  I also got an "Installation Complete" dialog window
that read: Installation is complete.  You need to restart the computer
in order to use the new installation.  That window contained a button
"Restart Now", but the button was inactive.  As a result, I was not able
to effect the restart.
