Public bug reported:
I have an Alienware and I am trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10.
Initially i had secure boot off and BIOS in UEFI. Ubuntu gave me a black screen
once i hit install ubuntu on the boot loader.
Then I changed the options and added nomodeset to the splash screen.Ubuntu
installation started but however failed during the installation of the grub
saying "failed to install grub-efi to target".
Tried in secure boot mode on and also off. Please advise. It is getting
critical.
