[Bug 1639374] Re: grub-pc fails to remove, causing lubuntu installs to crash

[Maris Nikos]

Yes after disabling fastboot and secureboot, I didn't see this error and
Lubuntu was installed successfully. I didn't try Ubuntu at all.

Grub seams to depend on BIOS settings specific to each vendor (Lenovo,
etc) like fastboot and that this irrelevent to which ubuntu distribution
we talk about.

Considering that new laptops usually have such settings, that newbies do
not really read long pages of documentation like that of UEFI and that
ubuntu is "Linux for Human Beings", we need either to fix it or to have
a clear documentation for newbies who want to install ubuntu.
