Public bug reported: I tried to re-install Ubuntu 18.04 because I was getting a series of: ima: Error Communicating to TPM chip messages on start-up and then the system would loop on the dots start-up screen. I was able to Ctrl-D to get a command line and run grub-update to refresh the grub menu.
TPM is Trusted Platform Module a uefi bios setting that I don't see in my BIOS screen. I have a multi-boot system. The Windows 10 partition still appears to work but the suggestions for re-setting TPM from Windows 10 do not work for me. It may be the grub-installer cannot be installed because of this TPM issue. It may be this started happening after I attempted to install Ubuntu 20.10 on another partition. I have tried the Boot Repair disk without success.
