[Bug 1728200] [NEW] grub failed to install uefi

[john]

Public bug reported:

After setting BIOS to disable legacy mode, I tried to install Ubuntu from a live USB. It fails at the end of the installation process when it tries to install grub uefi. The laptop was connected to the internet with a wired connection.
I have two hard drives in the machine One is a hdd for storage and the other is an m2 ssd where I want to install ubuntu. I have created a root, boot and swap partition but it still fails. It also fails on automatic instalation.
