[Bug 1912058] Re: While trying to install ubuntu, 'grub install failed' error ocurred

[Sebastien Bacher]

The error according to the log is

grub-install: error: cannot copy `/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi-
signed/grubx64.efi.signed' to `/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi': No
space left on device.

seems like the EFI partition is out of space

** Summary changed:

- While trying to install ubuntu, 'grub install failed' error ocurred
+ 'grub install failed' error ocurred, No space left on device.

** Summary changed:

- 'grub install failed' error ocurred, No space left on device.
+ 'grub install failed', No space left on device.
