[Bug 1585592] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 - grub-efi-amd64-signed failed to install into /target/

[Patrick Quinn-Graham]

I'm getting this same error, except, psusi says:

"A warning message prompted you that this could be a problem and
recommended performing a bios mode install instead, but you chose not
to"

No it didn't.

"This will be done for you if you choose the "use entire disk" guided
install option."

I chose this option and it still doesn't work.

  Popup window: GRUB installation failed
  "The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot."

  Probably, I forgot to disable secure boot on BIOS...?
