Is there a way to install Ubuntu completely on a portable external HDD and boot into it on any computer/laptop?

Question

I found this tutorial but ended up with an unbootable Ubuntu which loads into GNU GRUB command prompt and cannot proceed further.

Is there a reliable way to do this?

No

Each computer / laptop you want to run Ubuntu on can have different video cards and drivers meaning the kernel boot parameters might need changing.
