Public bug reported:
I am trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 or 16.04 on a new HP Pavilion laptop
with windows 10.
The installation goes normally but when reaches the point where GRUB
should install, reports the following error message
"Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed"
"This is a fatal error"
I tried to install several times but with no luck.
Do you have any idea on how to overcome this?
Thanks in advance
Vassilis
