[Bug 1924607] [NEW] Trying to re-install Kubuntu on a drive that already had Kubuntu installed, the installer errors out with "grub-install nvmve0np1 failed"

[Tarek Massini]

Public bug reported:

I already had a Kubuntu installation before I attempted this one,
however, something went wrong and I tried a fresh install. Now, the
installer apparently can't install Kubuntu on the drive. I've already
tried deleting the EFI partition in the hope that the installer would
simply create a new partition, but it didn't.
