Hi, I have now tried few days to install all kind Ubuntu/Kubuntu from 16.04, 16.10, 17.04, 17.10 etc to Arch Linux but GRUB installation "always" (one exception) fails without any explanation.
grub-efi-amd64-signd (or so) doesn't just like to get installed, but just hangs to make configuration.
Secure boot has been enabled, disabled, and even tried the legacy mode. But in any mode doesn't GRUB like to get installed past that.
Almost every installation from Live mode just hangs in the end and computer boots to grub command line.
I have once managed to get Kubuntu 17.10 installed and to boot normally, but I couldn't update or install any packages as dpkg wanted to be reconfigured and that forced to re-configure GRUB, and it just hangs. So it was just impossible even install any other package anymore nor update system without running grub reconfigure.
So that once happened installation was useless regardless it was booting from SSD.
I am now out of ideas what to do, I have read all kind UEFI manuals and guides but none of them is helping what so ever, example:
