Tried to install Linux mint on a wiped hard drive with a Lenovo X130E I thought it was an issue with my bootable flash drive. Decided to try lubuntu (same laptop) got most of the way through installing and got thi error message
Boost.Python error in job "bootloader".
Command 'grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=ubuntu --force' returned non-zero exit status 1.
