Public bug reported:
I’ve been since the latest versions of Ubuntu with the installation problem
from scratch. The computer is a Surface Pro 4. I have several partitions for
different versions of Linux as well as a Windows 10 partition.
It is impossible to install, because when it is about to finish, the
installation of grub fails.
The only solution I have found is to start the installer from the terminal with
the -b parameter. I reported this same error quite some time ago, but it has
not been fixed. I leave the solution I use in case anyone else needs it,
waiting for the error to be solved.
nvme0n1p1 >> My EFI partition (change for yours)
nvme0n1p6 >> My Operating system partition (change for yours)
You have to start the Linux installer from the terminal, using the command:
sudo ubiquity -b
When the installation is finished, we continue to test the system. We
start a terminal and run:
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p5 /mnt
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi
for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
modprobe efivars
sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64
sudo grub-install --no-nvram --root-directory=/mnt
sudo chroot /mnt
sudo update-grub
cd /boot/efi/EFI/
sudo cp -R ubuntu/* Boot/
cd Boot
sudo cp grubx64.efi bootx64.efi
exit
Reboot system.
