Public bug reported:

UEFI - Ubuntu Studio Installer crashes when trying to write GRUB x64
signed to EFI partition

(and got other bugs exhibiting as well

@ HP Envy m6 1104SE HM77 Intel core i5 Dual GPUs (+AMD HD7600 ) 16GB RAM
SATA HDD SATA CD InsydeH2O EFI BIOS ) )

tried to make simple

separate boot 200MB ext3
separate root 9000MB XFS partition
encrypted swap 16900MB

did not change grub writing location but default (it should figure that
EFI is destination by default if writes to EFI/GPT schema "xyz device"
(not a partition)

Boom! can not write GRUB
