Hi Marc,
Unfortunately I was unable to find a fix to this issue. However I haven’t
had the need for Linux on this machine since then so I haven’t attempted an
install in a few months.
I may try again sometime soon with Ubuntu 20.04.5. I’ll be sure to let you
know if I happen to find a solution.
Best regards,
Nikolai

Title:
grub2 fails to install upon ubuntu installation
Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Currently attempting to install ubuntu 20.04 alongside Windows 11 on
my HP laptop. I have tried the boot-repair service on previous
installation attempts yet still receive errors when that program
attempts to repair grub. If it is any help, here is the pastebin of
the errors from boot-repair from a few weeks ago:
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/45dnxkjfHG/
It seems like these lines are most important:

I will continue to try different fixes on my end to install Grub, but
it seems like an actual bug in the ubuntu/grub installer for EFI
systems.
Thank you!
