[Bug 1767602] [NEW] Grub installation failed 18.04 LTS

[Muhammad Raza]

Public bug reported:

While clean installing Ubuntu 18.04 LTS from USB, it prompted me with
error "Grub installation failed" message saying "The 'Grub-efi-
amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB
boot loader, the installed system will not boot.

I'm also experiencing this issue. Tried installing Kubuntu 18.04 and
Ubuntu 18.04, both suffer from the same error.

However, installing solus and other distros works fine.

I'm also experiencing this when I tried to install Kubuntu 18.04. I have
not tried other distros. Any solutions?

Finally i installed Ubuntu 17.10 and upgraded it to 18.04, it works.

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade

$ sudo apt install update-manager-core
$ sudo do-release-upgrade -d
