[Bug 1626268] Re: install crash on thinkpad yoga with default bios settings with message: The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/

[Sébastien Barbieri]

Dear Phillip,

you are totally right, and I fixed the explanation I got while trying to install already helped me to find out that I had to change a setting in my bios prior to install.
That's exactly what I did. And everythign works well.

The problem here is related to the Modal that is attached in the
screenshot of the second message that displays a close button which
doesn't work.

So it's a pure GUI design problem. The code behind the close button
doesn't work and doesn't close the modal.

And that's why I say install crash. The install doesn't work, it shoudl
at least handle properly all the error case including the one when
someone as EFI mode enabled and get the modal I got.

But of course it's not a critical bug :-) just a user interface that
fail to achieve his purpose.

Title:
  install crash on thinkpad yoga with default bios settings with
  message: The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into
  /target/

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/.
  Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.

  Then the installer crash with a popup that is as wide as the screen
  and a message that says that when closing the popup a bug report will
  be generated.

  Alas when this is done in Install mode (I mean when you don't want to
  try ubuntu but install it directly from the bot menu of the ISO) the
  popup is not closable.

  When clicking on the close button, the button show that it's clickable
  and responds to the click (emboss effect) but the popup stays on and
  the only possible thing is to reboot.

  On the "Try ubuntu" in a fully loaded desktop it's ok.
