Try this:
Boot the Ubuntu Live Usb-Dvd.
Open a terminal,
Press Ctrl+Alt+T
Run it:
sudo -i
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot --bootloader-id=ubuntu --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/mnt/boot/efi
rebootThe root cause of your problem is Temporary failure resolving 'al.archive.ubuntu.com This means that when you attempted this process the server was temporarily unavilable. You have 2 options.
1) Try again
2) Choose a different mirror By Opening Software & Updates and selecting a different server in the Download from drop down menu. (Choosing Other will run a series of tests to determine which is the best server for you.)
