Package grub-efi-amd64-signed is not configured yet

This is 18.04 - I never had this issue on the same hardware for the last year.
With the last updates I get:

Thank you for your bug report, from the log
'Could not prepare Boot variable: No space left on device'

it looks like your disk is full, could you make some space and try again?

But the disk is not full, after df -H

It could be that it's the boot partition that has no space. Could you look in the disks utility for non mounted partitions and their usage?

[ionut stoica (i.stoica)]

I have none, my fstab is this

  1 # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
  2 #
  3 # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
  4 # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
  5 # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

  7 # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

It got solved by restarting, there was a message in the boot screen with an EFI error (not able to see it all as it was very fast)

Then I was still able to boot, and now I managed to apt-get upgrade to finish and not stop at the error reported above.

Then restarted again and it seems to not have any issue anymore.
