Bug Description

At almost the end of the installation the system reported it could not set the grub so the system would not start.
During the installation the disk was clean and I set the following partitions:
1. Bios (2 Mb)
2. / (20 Gb)
3. Home (970 Gb)
4 Swap (8Gb)

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.

Changed in grub-installer (Ubuntu):
