"MODSIGN: Couldn’t get UEFI db list"

[jabrilm]

I'm encountering the error "MODSIGN: Couldn’t get UEFI db list" when trying to install Ubuntu 18.10, and a web search reveals Secure Boot as the likely culprit. However, Secure Boot has already been disabled in BIOS. What are other possible sources of this error?

Trying to install from a USB stick on an HP Spectre x360 laptop. Aiming for a dual-boot Ubuntu OS alongside Windows 10.

Thanks. But my BIOS does not give that option for UEFI.

After trying a lot of things, I was able to get past the error in the OP by adding the grub arguments noapic noacpi nosplash in place of quiet splash.
