Title:
  installation of ubuntu failed (couldn't write grub to /)

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I was trying to install ubuntu from a USB drive. There is a Windows 10
  installation. During the installation I created a partition in unused
  space on the hard drive and chose to mount it to /. The installation
  seemed to run smoothly but in the end it stated that it can't write
  the grub files to the destination and this would make the installed
  system unbootable.
