   This looks like a Grub issue rather than a kernel issue.
   /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of /boot/grub/locale.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Closing this bug with Won't fix as this kernel / release is no longer supported.
Please feel free to open a new bug report if you're still experiencing this on a newer release (Bionic 18.04.3 / Disco 19.04)
Thanks!
