Public bug reported: Ubuntu 20.10 fails installing because just at the end of the installation, grub-install /dev/sda fails without any obvious reason. I have both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 on the drive and had many previous versions before. It is the first time I get this error and I am glad I did foresee problems, always keeping another version of Ubuntu.
This is a Toshiba laptop about 4 years old, usually everything works flawless on it.
