Public bug reported: I was trying to install Ubuntu on a partition on my SSD. I used GParted to format it as ext4. Then, during the install process, I formatted as ext4, using / as the mount point. The installation eventually failed, saying that GRUB-install failed, a fatal error, which halts installation. It seems to happen every time I attempt installation.
