Bug Description
The ubuntu installer reported not able to install a grub bootloader at a partition of its own choosing, which is on SSD drive. I asked me to select a different partition, but I have no knowledge to decide which is good, so I choose the sda the hard disk, it still failed.
My compute is Dell Alienware 15 with a SSD drive, which is used for Windows 10, and a hard drive. It's mainly used for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, which I decided to be replaced by Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
