Bug Description

While installing Lubuntu 18.04.5-desktop-amd64 , the grub failed to install therefore causing installation to crash.
I installed lubuntu on a usb, then plugged it into my pcc with another usb, and tried to install lubuntu on that other usb. Every step of the installation process seemed fine but right towards the end, an error message of the installation popped-up on my screen and it also said something about grub failing to install. Please let me know how I can avoid this issue or please provide a possible fix.
Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.
