grub-installer should fall back to grub-pc instead of grub-efi when there is
no EFI system partition

You received this bug notification because
I was able to fix this issue the following way.
Apparently, my motherboard (ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0) can boot a USB drive in
two ways:
1) using UEFI
2) using the standard way (BIOS?)
I originally booted the Ubuntu 14.04 USB installation drive using UEFI
(I didn't realize there would be a difference)
By the way, I think this is the relevant part of the log:
Apr 9 14:38:09 ubuntu grub-installer: info: Installing grub on
'/dev/sdd'
Apr 9 14:38:09 ubuntu grub-installer: info: grub-install does not
support --no-floppy
Apr 9 14:38:09 ubuntu grub-installer: info: Running
