I am trying to install grub2 from a live CD of lubuntu 16.04, I am following this tutorial, after I mounted the /dev/sda1 in the mnt folder using this commands



sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev


Then changing the root directory :



    sudo chroot /mnt


But when try installing grub using sudo grub-install /dev/sda I get this error :



sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu
grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.


I tried turning off the uefi mode from bios but I think that my bios version doesn't even support it because it is from 2005
