Bug Description

I was trying to install Ubuntu OS on my HP laptop from my bootable USB driver. It was installing find until a message came out saying: "the 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB Boot Loader, the installed system will not boot."

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted the installer in EFI mode. You either need to boot the installer in bios mode, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.
