I’m trying to install Lubuntu 22.04.1 LTS from a live usb onto a hard drive with an existing windows 7 installation. Apparently I had created a partition on half on a 120 GB SSD and left the other half blank. I chose this blank space (/dev/sda2 below) for the install. Unfortunately, I received the following error:
- The bootloader could not be installed. The installation command
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=ubuntu --force
returned error code 1.
What should my next step be? I’m still in the same live session.
Thanks in advance.
I’m providing the following info as well for troubleshooting:
