Bug Description

Under installation I got a message saying that the system could not boot because grub-installer failed. I have a 32bit 18.04 version, but want a 64bit version installed aside the first one. I made the usb pen bootable in the 32bit system. It booted ok, and I chose to install aside with the 32bit system. I also slided the two partitions, to make the one smaller and hopefully get the bigger size for the 64bit system.

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.
