Looking at the log, it shows that grub-efi was correctly installed, then for some reason, grub-efi was removed, and grub-pc installed instead, then the install crashes.

summary: - ubiquity 18.04 crashed at end of installation on Dell XPS 9360
+ grub-efi installed, then swapped for grub-pc and install crashes
