[Bug 1906157] Re: Executing 'grub-install /dev/nvme0n1' failed. This is a fatal error

[Paul Michael Reilly]

Yes, this bug also affects me and anyone else trying to install Ubuntu onto Apple laptops that use similar SSD hardware /dev/nvme0n1 (or similar).
I would like to volunteer to work with someone to resolve this issue. A little bootstrapping help from a more experienced ubiquity/Grub hacker will go a long way to getting to done.
