Im doing dual boot with windows. I installed windows 10 first. The installer keeps getting stuck at the installation of grub2 package.

I tried the suggestion mentioned in the thread "Ubuntu install hangs at “Installing the 'grub2' package…”", but the problem still persists.

I'm installing Ubuntu 16.04.3 desktop amd64.

  • are you installing EFI? – ravery Sep 18 '17 at 16:52
  • I'm not very familiar with EFI. I do have windows 10 already installed on the C partition, and I'm trying to install Ubuntu on the D partition. I'm sorry for being slightly on the noobish side. – ahmadkhalifa Sep 18 '17 at 17:09
  • Possible duplicate of [Installing Ubuntu Alongside a Pre-Installed Windows with UEFI](https://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-alongside-a-pre-installed-windows-with-uefi) If you aren't familiar with UEFI then you must be before even consider installing an OS. –  Sep 18 '17 at 17:11
  • OK I looked it up, and I definitely have UEFI. How can I fix my problem now? – ahmadkhalifa Sep 18 '17 at 17:56

    And I just tried it with Ubuntu 17, and the same happens. I'm frustrated. It's always stuck at "source ID was not found when attempting to remove it, Glib.self_remove(self.timeout_id)" – ahmadkhalifa Sep 18 '17 at 18:34
