[Bug 1683140] Re: live-usb installer failed at grub2 installation

[Rolf Boelens]

Previous boots / installations were with Legacy (BIOS) in UEFI enabled. In last trial Legacy was disabled and boot/installation was from standard UEFI with SecureBoot disabled. Still error at grub2 package installer. 
Output of efibootmgr -v: 
BootCurrent: 0008
Timeout: 2 seconds
BootOrder: 0007,0000,0008
Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager	HD(2,GPT,xxxxxxx,0x32001)/File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi)WINDOWS.........x...B.C.D.O.B.J.E.C.T.=.{.9.d.e.a.8.6.2.c.-.5.c.d.d.-.4.e.7.0.-.a.c.c.1.-.f.3.2.b.3.4.4.d.4.7.9.5.}...3................

When in Windows and using mountvol, I do not see a directory redhat,
only ubuntu. When I boot from from Linux, it skips this and will boot
Windows10 instead.

** Description changed:

  Tried to reinstall Ubuntu 16.04 from a Live USB stick, since the
  original install did not dual boot between Windows10 and Ubuntu. In
  between I tried several Bios/Uefi options (....grrr) and had to
  reinstall Windows10 to be able to boot the Dell Latitude Ultrabook 6430u
  at all. Ubuntu reinstall fails at grub2 installation (pacakage grub-efi-
  amd64-signal failed to install into /target/.). Tried to reinstall with
  several options (download updates y/n and third partiy software y/n) and
  also with a fresh live-usb. Fails in all cases. In Windows10:
  \EFI\ubuntu directory seemed corrupt, has no files.
