Granted this would only be my 2nd Linux install but I have tried everything. I am trying to install Lubuntu on an acer satellite C55-B5100. Going through the installer when It comes to setting up partitions, I choose to erase everything and install Lubuntu (I have also tried other configuration as well). I am not trying to duel boot. I want this to be the sole OS. I tried Ubuntu Mate too just to see if that made a difference, it did not. I can run both distros live off of a USB. I have tried multiple attempts to install but each time it gets to the end of the install it fails. It says "grub2-efi-amd64-signed" failed to install. I have googled and read dozens of accounts of people that get a similar error. I've read that people have solved this issue by connecting to the internet and by not connecting to the internet. I have tried installing a boot repair after the failed install. I have tried every setting in the bios. If there are any more ideas on what I can try that would be great. But, I am gathering that it could be something on the hard drive that could be preventing this to finish installing. Is that possible and if so would a new hard drive solve this problem.
Thanks for entertaining my post. I was introduced to Linux about 5 years ago but at the time I was not too interested. I thought it seemed cool but I had other interests. Fast forward to today and I don't know anyone that has even heard of Linux, so I am grateful that I found this forum. Thanks again.
