I installed Ubuntu on my laptop. But grub can't install due to multiple mount errors. I tried to install it from a LiveUSB, but sudo chroot /mnt fails with

#grub-install /dev/sda
Installing for x86_64 efi platform
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory

enter image description here

Please help me to solve this immediately

    Immediately? Well, let's mosey on over and take a look. Well, doggies. I do wonder if /dev/sda is partitioned for MBR or GPT? https://askubuntu.com/a/629819/197910 Let's find out, shall we, 'cause that's reeeeel important if yer gonna do something which expected to find the EFI directory, don't ya know? Run sudo blkid /dev/sda | grep PTTYPE then click [edit] and paste the result into your question. Don't use Add Comment because you lose your formatting on what you reply with in a Comment; instead, use [edit]. – K7AAY Dec 13 '19 at 22:52
  • Hard to read your screen shot, but you have to mount ESP - efi system partition as part of chroot. UEFI chroot: http://askubuntu.com/questions/53578/can-i-install-in-uefi-mode-with-the-alternate-installer/57380#57380 – oldfred Dec 13 '19 at 23:12
  • The problem starts with the first mount. Control with ls -al / | grep mnt if the folder realy is not present. – nobody Dec 14 '19 at 17:59
