[Bug 1867433] [NEW] Grub won't install every time I try to install Backbox OS

[ghostriders]

Public bug reported:

These are the steps that I try:

First delete nvme0n1 data by filling the disk with zero's. This is done
using AOMEI partition wizard on medicat USB.

Backbox OS USB won't boot unless I type in the boot menu 'nomodeset'.
 
I intend to install backbox OS (ubuntu 18.02 LTS) on 256 GB SDD, nvme0n1

The partitions are as followed:

50 mb reserved BIOS
512 mb EPS
500 mb /boot
16 GB for swap
and the rest of the SDD-space is intended for /


I always get the following error:

grub-efi-amd64-signed’ package failed to install into /target/

After rebooting I enter grub rescue

I have tried the following to fix this error:

I used the live USB and installed boot-repair on it.
Boot-repair does not function due to a lot of bugs

I installed Peppermint OS onto a USB and used boot-repair again.
However boot-repair did not function due to a lot of bugs

 
I have had Backbox OS working before, there were no issues with the installation

I hope you have a solution to this problem.
