[Bug 1935718] Re: error: failed to register the EFI boot entry: Operation not permitted.

[Martin Herink]

Interestingly Ubuntu boots just fine, grub installs just fine as well,
but the error presents itself as fatal (even though it isn't) and leaves
the installer icon on the desktop at first boot.

I will look at the bios settings but I have seen this same issue on a
non EFI system (Dell Studio 1764).

This is an HP Probook 6550b (circa 2008) with a very early EFI
implementation. I will look at the options and see if there's anything
that allows it to update.

At minimum the error seems misleading(since grub does actually install
and linux is bootable right out of the gate etc.)
