I looked at 1734147 but it didn't seem familiar. (That's not saying much though, as I've not really paid close attention other than to note that I'm affected by the grub issues.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805490 Title: [master] Grub2 Failed to install "efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: Block device required."

In addition to the above; if anyone has previously had Ubuntu 17.10 installed on the affected system, it is possible this is due to bug 1734147. Please see if the bug's description matched with what you are seeing.
