Bug Description

i have a dual boot set up, i put in a brand new windows 10 on my main drive and attempted to put a new live usb version of Ubuntu Mate 18.04 lts nothing special just followed the installer prompts, nothing fancy. all was new, and again i get the same problem. i tried to eliminate all my potential mistakes and hoped for the best, but no. apparently , the installer put a version onto the partition but cant boot into it, but i am not sure. why it waits till the very end to notify of a crash is not good. it would turn most people away from ubuntu totally. i have endured over a dozen tries both plain ubuntu 18 and mate versions on live cd and live use. cant make it go. even the workaround , installing the bootloader through the repair method , copy/paste failed to boot into the supposed system what's up. dont want any new linux users? isnt good.

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted the installer in EFI mode. You either need to boot the installer in bios mode, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.
