Bug Description
I attempted to reinstall ubuntu (a newer version) on a system because the older version stopped working. I think it was an unsuccessful upgrade which damaged the older version along with the GRUB. When attempting to reinstall, it won't be able to install the GRUB at the end of the installation process.
I don't remember the number of the old version (I think it was 18.x), and I'm trying to install the most recent (20.x)
