[Bug 1690767] Re: GRUB installation fails on DFI industrial PC

[Kalle Tuulos]

One note more: Ubuntu has two kinds of installer images: those, which
should be (and so far have been) capable of installing the system
without any network connection, and those, which rely on network
connection to fetch necessary drivers, utilities etc. Now it seems, that
the offline installer has been broken.

Title:
  GRUB installation fails on DFI industrial PC

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Computer type is DFI EC700-BT4051-E454.

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
  Ubuntu 17.04

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
  Not known - system is still being installed

  3) What you expected to happen
  Ubuntu 17.04 installation was started with request to erase everything from disk. The disk was anyway empty.
  Installation went through successfully, the last step was to write GRUB into disk.

  4) What happened instead
  GRUB writing just failed: "The 'gruyb-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/."

  There are no "boot sector virus protection" options in BIOS (American
  Megatrends).
