Bug Description
Unexpected error as this box is used for QA-test installs very regularly (including a Xubuntu 20.04.4 install less than an hour ago as I wrote the wrong ISO to thumb-drive)
Xubuntu jammy daily install (auto-resize) on
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)
(disk is actually very full;
- 2x ubuntu-mate 20.04.4
- lubuntu jammy
- xubuntu 20.04.4 installed today
** Expected result
System installs without errors telling me grub-install failed
** Actual result
System reports grub-install failed
On rebooting, the install itself was good & thus QA-test was passed. GRUB had the correct number of items
(I tested all but one as being valid (one booted the wrong OS but as my dog was hitting my wrist trying to get me to play - I'm blaming the dog for why a focal.xubuntu booted instead of focal.ubuntu-mate) see iso.qa log for my recorded test log)
