[Bug 1938578] [NEW] Grub2 Fatal error on HP 250 G6.

[PHANTOM NINJA]

Public bug reported:

Grub2 Fatal error on HP 250 G6. I use Linux Mint on Virtualbox and
recently switched to Ubuntu. The issue is I want to replace WIndows 10
and install Ubuntu as my main OS and I always get the grub2 fatal error
message. I looked it up online and it says my laptop model is not linux-
friendly. Are there advanced workarounds this as partitions don't seem
to work?
