cant install grub2 package

[Charles Massey]

I've attempted to install lubuntu 18.04 numerous times, and always stalls while installing grub2 package. This time I did a fresh download of lubuntu 18,04.3 and used rufus to make a bootable usb. This is the first time I've actually gotten the message that the grub wouldn't install.
