When installing the latest Ubuntu LTS (Jammy Jellyfish), near the end of the installation I get the error message "Executing 'grub-install/dev/sdb' failed. This is a fatal error." I get this error message no matter what /dev/ I try.

This worked for me:

I often get the same grub error when installing Ubuntu on one of my machines.

The solution it seems is a to do manual partitioning setup. Create as follows.

500M fat32 partition with a mount point of /boot/efi

4G of swap (not needed, but I like too) - has to be activated with an entry in fstab

And the rest as ext4 with a mount point of /

Here's some more info if needed.
