Interestingly Ubuntu boots just fine, grub installs just fine as well, but the error presents itself as fatal (even though it isn't) and leaves the installer icon on the desktop at first boot.
I will look at the bios settings but I have seen this same issue on a non EFI system (Dell Studio 1764). This is an HP Probook 6550b (circa 2008) with a very early EFI implementation. I will look at the options and see if there's anything that allows it to update. At minimum the error seems misleading(since grub does actually install and linux is bootable right out of the gate etc.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1935718 Title: error: failed to register the EFI boot entry: Operation not permitted.
