[Bug 1790798] Re: grub-installer crashes when installing alongside Windows

[Max Kaehn]

I was able to work around this by manually copying .efi files into
/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu and setting up a grub.cfg in there.

Title:
  grub-installer crashes when installing alongside Windows

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Windows 10 wouldn't let me shrink its partition far enough, so I had
  to reinstall it from scratch. I reformatted another partition on the
  SSD to ext4, then ran the 18.04.1 installer and it crashed when trying
  to install the boot loader.
