'EFI variables are not supported on this system.'

That's quite interesting, as it implies the installer was booted via
UEFI, but that, once installed, the system is booting Ubuntu via BIOS
fallback compatibility.  That is definitely not a case we could detect
from the installer whether you could successfully reboot into Ubuntu or
not!

2021-07-16 Thread Steve Langasek
It's good to know that Ubuntu boots ok after installation in spite of
this error; however, in the general case there is no way for us to know
that it will.

Can you attach the output of 'efibootmgr -v' from your installed and
booted Ubuntu system?  This may provide insight to how we can improve
the handling of various corner cases.

2021-07-16 Thread Martin Herink
Interestingly Ubuntu boots just fine, grub installs just fine as well,
but the error presents itself as fatal (even though it isn't) and leaves
the installer icon on the desktop at first boot.

I will look at the bios settings but I have seen this same issue on a
non EFI system (Dell Studio 1764).

This is an HP Probook 6550b (circa 2008) with a very early EFI
implementation. I will look at the options and see if there's anything
that allows it to update.

At minimum the error seems misleading(since grub does actually install
and linux is bootable right out of the gate etc.)

This shows that your system is running EFI, but that grub has been
blocked from updating the firmware variables to register itself as a
boot option.

Please check if there is a security setting in your firmware that blocks
changing the boot order and disable it.

Without being able to update the boot order, Ubuntu is likely not going
to be able to be booted on your dual-boot system.  So it's not a bug
that grub flags this problem before finishing the install, but a bug
with your system that it doesn't support updating the boot order.
