Title:
  Ubuntu crash while installing "grub"

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
