It's been 2 days I've been unable to install Ubuntu OS on my Acer Spin One (SP111-32N) : I want to install it alongside Windows (dualboot). I've been using a USB flashdrive to install the OS.
At each try the installation blocked at the installation of grub2 bootloader. I've tried using both manual partition (with 2 partitions ext4 and swap) and "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows Boot Loader".
When I reboot the PC to exit the install and switch back to Windows, the partition with Ubuntu seems installed and there another FAT32 partition with grub 2.02 on it. However when I want to boot to Ubuntu some kind of terminal appear and I don't know how to boot to Ubuntu.
I've also tried to do this install, reboot the computer when the install block at grub2 package, and then do a boot repair using "Try Ubuntu". The Boot Repair program blocked at "Repairing Grub. This may take several minutes".
Here is a boot info taken just before running the boot repair : http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3gCgb3CrpW/ (http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3gCgb3CrpW/?fbclid=IwAR17vTWWUaHZTXaUsKhwq6WC59aIKcs7orilJtV9 3y8EniXdz9cAs3MxmCw)
And the partitions (gparted) after the unfinish installation :

I've been doing some research and it seems that this problem is quite common, however each solution given by other user seems different and sometimes, as I'm a beginner in Linux OS, I havent been able to try them.
Thanks a lot for you help !
