[Bug 1775657] Re: The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install

[Phillip Susi]

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted
the installer in EFI mode. You either need to boot the installer in bios
mode, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system partition
to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you choose the "use
entire disk" guided install option.

Title:
  The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On an almost 300 Gb HDD, the 1st ~230 Gb was non-*nix and the rest
  were old *nixes. I booted on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS non-installing to
  partition the drive, deleting the *nixes, stretching the non-*nix
  (keeping the beginning to 0). I tried installing (18.04 LTS) which
  required me to do steps with the free/unallocated space (I was hoping
  the installer would use that and make all the steps on it), so I made
  the swap 2 X RAM (size) then made the remaining ~35 Gb ext4 / (root)
  and the "Format?" checkbox was present for the only ext4
  row/partition. It failed giving me the error which beginning is this
  bug summary which full content is in the attached screenshot.

  On the same setting, not having rebooted (thus booted on Ubuntu 18.04
  LTS non-installing on the system which main drive is the almost 300 Gb
  HDD), I tried installing again, using the top-left icon labelled
  "Install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS" and kept the previous options up to the
  5th, of 7, option, labelled "Installation type", in which I chose the
  1st option Reinstall Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with description "Documents...
  will be kept. Installed software will be kept where possible. System-
  wide settings will be cleared." which ended up with the same or quite
  similar error.

  I'll soon restart the system, hopefully it'll be able to boot on the
  previous non-*nix I worked on > 99% time (on that system).
