I'm trying to do a clean install of 22.04 (previously running 20.04). No dual boot - Just Ubuntu 22.04.
I downloaded the ISO and created the boot thumbdrive as instructed by Ubuntu.
I boot the machine and I get the install window. So far so good.
I select a Normal Installation
I want the OS to be installed on the SSD installed in the machine so for "Installation Type" so I select "Something Else" in order to set the partitions.
I set up a /, /boot, swap and efi partitions the same sizes that I've always used.
The EFI partition look like:
/dev/sda7 efi 26060mb
For "Device for boot loader installation" I have:
/dev/sda ATA Samsung SDD 840 (256.1 GB)
It copies the files....
It then moves to "Installing System"
And I get the failure:
Unable to install Grub in /dev/sda
Executing "grub-install /dev/sda failed" This is a fatal error
I tried selecting /dev/sda7 - the efi partition but that failed as well.
The USB stick is not the first selection in the BIOS boot priority.
I am at a loss as to how to proceed.
Any suggestions?
