[Bug 1819057] Re: uefi install of ubuntu 16.04 crashed installer

[Dan Kegel]

Workaround was easy: in the live session the installer started for my
convenience after the fault, I ran fdisk on each of the two disks to
create a new gpt partition table, then reran the live installer.  Worked
great this time.

So:
 start terminal
 lsblk
 fdisk /dev/sda
   g
   w
 fdisk /dev/nvme0n1 
   g
   w
 run installer, choose erase disk and install ubuntu, select nvme... for bootloader destination
 reboot
 profit!
