Public bug reported:
Upon installation to a clean disk which was wiped during setup I get the
error message "Executing '/grub-install /dev/sda' failed." I have tried
wiping the drive and deleting all partitions via a Windows installer,
wiping the drive from the Advanced Disk Utilities in the Ubuntu
installer and all items from the re-install menu within the installer.
I still get this error. I am not trying to dual-boot the system. I am
just trying to install Ubuntu 18.10.
