installer crashed grub-efi signed not installed

[Lyn Perrine]

On a lubuntu next install I tried to install offline following this testcase on an hp laptop that had previously worked with lubuntu and secure boot.

Description: Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch)
Release: 17.10

I expected this install to work with secure boot like it should instead it did not install a signed version of grub so no bootloader points to the new install meaning the new install cannot immediately be booted into.
