The error according to the log is

grub-install: error: cannot copy `/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi-signed/grubx64.efi.signed' to `/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi': No space left on device.

seems like the EFI partition is out of space

summary:	- While trying to install ubuntu, 'grub install failed' error ocurred + 'grub install failed' error ocurred, No space left on device.
summary:	- 'grub install failed' error ocurred, No space left on device. + 'grub install failed', No space left on device.
