[Bug 1806843] Re: can't install grub during install ubuntu - No space left on device

[Sebastien Bacher]

The log has

"Dec  5 08:11:23 ubuntu grub-installer: info: Installing grub on '/dev/nvme0n1p4'
Dec  5 08:11:23 ubuntu grub-installer: info: grub-install does not support --no-floppy
Dec  5 08:11:23 ubuntu grub-installer: info: Running chroot /target grub-install  --force "/dev/nvme0n1p4"

Dec  5 08:11:23 ubuntu grub-installer: grub-install: ошибка: efibootmgr не может зарегистрировать загрузочную запись: Нет такого устройства или адреса."

unsure where it's trying to write/why it's hitting that "no space left
on device" issue though (or maybe it's just a redherring and a standard
error displayed after hitting another error which is not
standard/correctly handled)

So you can reproduce that problem every time on the machine?
