I made an installer of ubuntu mate 18.04 and encountered failures in all
methods of installation, side by side or to a newly created (gparted)
ext4 partition with plenty of room and free space. It gets all the way
though almost and kicks out the same error ‘apt-install grub efi …….’ I
have a hybrid motherboard in this computer can use bios or uefi. Only
way I got any joy was with a dvd ubuntu bionic beaver method. Usb never
works and I tried over 20 times with different methods. I even tried to
follow the ubuntu one directions to add the bootloader grub using
copy/paste method. No good. I came to learn, after I was successful with
the ubuntu via cd that there was indeed a successful installation but it
never showed up until later when I put in the grub customizer app. So ,
I do have a working , or 2 working installations of ubuntu. The ubuntu
mate (which is my favorite DE) is not successful. I am not any expert
so no way to know how much is my fault and if or how much is a bug or
issue with the installer. I used 3 separate methods to create the live
dvd or usb too.

> In ubuntu 18.04 you need to select it manually while booting up.
Yes, user can select UEFI mode or BIOS at boot time of installation, but
somehow UEFI mode installation of opensuse (thumbleweed) works fine, but
1804 is not (on same disk and machine).
Also UEFI mode installation 1804 on that machine displays "message" what
it will be "manufactered mode" (as i remembered) and incorrectly defines
(displays in partition table) all existing ext4 partition as "efi", and
cant install grub on /dev/sdf(1), but tried on /dev/sda with failure
message.
