Where to attach the ground wire
I am installing a new light fixture on the bathroom, and would like to know where I attach the ground wire to the light box?

Welcome to the forums.
Are you sure the box is grounded? Just because it's metal does not mean it is.

I don't think this box is grounded and it doesn't look like there's a ground wire in the box. How old is the house and what do your receptacles look like (will they accept a grounded plug or only two prong plugs)?

I can barely see a ground wire under the screw at the 10 o'clock position in the box.

I thought that was part of the box but I think you're right and that is a bare copper wire.
