So I've have been distro hopping trying to figure out what I like best and what I find to work will with my Surface Pro 3. I decide to to go back to Ubuntu 18.04. Unfortunately I started getting this error when I try to install it "The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/". I had never had this issue before. I was choosing the option to erase the disk and do a fresh install. No other operating systems on the device. So I formatted the disk. Tried again. Same issue. Is there some kind of partition lurking around that wont show up in GParted that I have to erase or do i have to manually set up partitions since I formatted the drive? I'm kinda confused.
I did run Boot Repair Tool. It just booted into a grub terminal afterwords. Then I tried to reinstall ubuntu, gave me the same error. Ran BRT again. It gave me an error about a locked ESP but when I rebooted it loaded Ubuntu but it had a weird icon "Install RELEASE".
What the heck is going on?
Thanks and Happy Holidays.
