[Bug 1851955] Re: ubuntu 19.10 boot installer failed

[Steve Langasek]

The error in your logs is:

Nov  9 19:25:47 ubuntu ubiquity: grub-install: warning: Cannot set EFI variable Boot0000.
Nov  9 19:25:47 ubuntu ubiquity: grub-install: warning: efivarfs_set_variable: writing to fd 7 failed: Invalid argument.
Nov  9 19:25:47 ubuntu ubiquity: grub-install: warning: _efi_set_variable_mode: ops->set_variable() failed: Invalid argument.
Nov  9 19:25:47 ubuntu ubiquity: grub-install: error: failed to register the EFI boot entry: Invalid argument.

Do you know of a reason that Ubuntu would be unable to write to these
firmware variables, such as a BIOS security setting?
