When installing Ubuntu 22.04, the installation goes by perfectly until the end, where it says that grub failed to install in /dev/nvme0n1, and the installer crashes. Here is a list of stuff I have done:
- Disable windows fast boot(NOT the one in UEFI settings), hibernation
- Tried to create a new primary 500MB EFI partition
- Boot-repair, which gives the following output:
boot-repair-4ppa2056 [20230604_0803]

Suggested repair: ______________________________________________________________
The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility would not act on the boot.
I had tried to manually install grub through chroot, which ended up giving the same error. I am on an ASUS laptop.
Edit:
I tried using demsg in the EFI folder. It shows invalid cluster chain errors in nvme0n1p1. There's an Ubuntu folder in the EFI folder, it shows input/output error. Maybe this folder was damaged when I was trying to install Ubuntu? Can someone tell me how to fix it?
