I'm trying to install Ubuntu 22.04 as dual boot in my laptop and I've been having some trouble.
I have a hp pavillion, with windows 11. I've just formatted my laptop, installed everything again. I've made a 50GB partition in my disk, on which I plan to install Ubuntu. I've flashed a USB drive using Rufus and the ISO file from the Ubuntu website. I've changed the boot order in the BIOS interface to prioritize the USB drive, I've also disabled Secure Boot.
I boot my computer with the USB drive connected and all goes well, I go into the Linux installation process, I choose normal installation, check the third party thing, and the one to download stuff while installing. I then choose the manual partition option, I create a swap partition of 4GB (swap option), and create a root partition (ext4 and "/"). I then continue. The installation begins, all goes well until near the end when it stops and shows this error: Unable to install GRUB in /dev/nvme0n1: executing grub-install /dev/nvme0n1 failed. this is a fatal error. Here it fails.
I've tried booting into the Linux live session and installing Boot-Repair, and running it and doing the recommended repair, to which another error appears: /target detected. Please close the Ubuntu installer, then retry.
I ran the Boot-Repair analysis and got this pastebin: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/b6DXbpmwvg/
