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):

Thanks for your help, mean time I did a few installations and I choose the
install on the entire disc and after I create 2 more partitions and the
next installation went nicely😎
Now I hawe LinMint 18 / Ubuntu 16 / LinMint 19 on the same HDD and it's OK
I'm happy with this...
The next stage is to install a wirtual machine ... I hope it will be
easier..☺

Thanks again for the hint.

Best Regards

Sandor
