Experiencing a similar problem here using 18.10 64b on a laptop featuring 2
nvme-drives.
Installation was started through legacy bios (UEFI off) and proceeded simlilar
to #23:
1) Select manual partition setup
2) install to blank /dev/nvme0n1 is blank
3) create a partition at front of drive,
I have the same problem with the latest version installed on an nvme
drive (4.15.0-29). It seems that when there's a single nvme drive and
no other disks it may work, but when other drives are present, grub-
install doesn't seem to install the bootloader on the nvme device. The
workaround I found

Similar to the other bug reports, I receive the following error when

I had the same issue as this, managed to get it to work after a lot of trial
and error:

I suspect it is a problem related to NVMe disks?

Encountering the same problem. I am using DELL XPS 13 9360 (with Windows
10 Home 64-bit pre-installed) and want to install Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS as
dual-boot.

Workaround: when installer starts, select manual partitioning and select
/dev/nvme0n1 as the place where to install the bootloader (bottom of the
partitioning window).
(I didn't manage to boot this particular system with UEFI enabled, this
workaround only works in legacy mode for me)

I am experiencing the same behaviour while installing Xubuntu 16.04 onto
a desktop computer containing only a NVMe drive. I cant use the OK
Button, abort or close the dialog.

I just got an Intel NUC Skull Canyon with a NVMe drive and hit this bug
trying to install 16.04 LTS. The install fails completely. I get a
choice to select drive to install grub to and change to /dev/nvme0n1 but
when I press the "Ok" button nothing happens. Selecting any of the other
options has
@Dimitri, Comment #11 is actually not true. nvme drives *do* work in
legacy mode. But the bootloader has to be installed to /dev/nvme0n1.

@Mathieu, can we make sure this is high priority and on track for fixing
in Yakkety and SRU to Xenial?

Unable to install GRUB in
If you create an `EFI boot section` before partitioning the rest of the
device, you can install `grub` on `/dev/nvme0n1`.
Example:
- `/dev/nvme0n1`
-- `/dev/nvme0n1p1`, EFI boot section, 500MB
-- `/dev/nvme0n1p2`, ext4, [all the free space]
grub-install on `/dev/nvme0n1` now works.

Wait, the partitions on nvme devices are named /dev/nvme0n1? That's a
bug in the kernel then; it should be named /dev/nvmd0p1. The 'p' is the
partition separator character linux has used since the dawn of time for
devices whose base name ends in a digit.
** Package changed: grub-installer
No, this is an issue in grub-installer directly, which fails to figure
out that /dev/nvme0n1 is the disk without partition numbers. It may
still be that grub doesn't like nvme devices as hd0, but we're failing
at grub-installer splitting the device name correctly.

Looks like a simple problem with grub's device iteration code not
understanding /dev/nvme can also be hd0, since it's a new device type
instead of a conventional scsi disk.

Dimitri,
I used the 'Legacy mode' in BIOS, and after I switch to 'UEFI mode', it
works fine, I thought this issue might be related to BIOS. Thanks a lot!

previously, installation on to nvme drivers has been fixed and used to
operate correctly.
using $ ubuntu-bug ubiquity, or $ ubuntu-bug debian-installer -> would
be better as it would include a lot of logs and details of package

i386-pc is a bit weird, as I would expect nvme
Dimitri,
Thanks a lot! I will do it now, :)
