[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

Bug reporting is about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future
users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg.
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your
problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community
http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or
https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at

Title:
  the 23.04 installation failed, fatal error, unable to load grub to sda

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  ubuntu 20.04 upgrade vie internet to 22.04 failed to boot; fiddled around with grub; failed to boot; used the boot repair tool; failed to boot; sent the boot-repair info in;
  installed 23.04; 'unable to install grub to sda, fatal error'
  So, no boot. 
  I would like my computer to boot again.I'm not sure if the bug report went in because it took me some time to reset my 'ubuntu one' password.
  Thanks for any help.
