3 years ago Good news. I've been able to overcome these issues by doing the following. I'm not sure which fixed it, but I'm now on the latest grub.
-
cleared NVRAM: https://mrchromebox.tech/#fwscript $ cd; curl -LO mrchromebox.tech/firmware-util.sh && sudo bash firmware-util.sh choose "c" to clear NVRAM.

ran "$ sudo apt update", then "$ sudo apt upgrade", and received a newer grub version (8.20, instead of a mix of 8.18 and 8.19) Upgrade: grub-common:amd64 (2.02-2ubuntu8.17, 2.02-2ubuntu8.20), grub2-common:amd64 (2.02-2ubuntu8.17, 2.02-2ubuntu8.20), grub-efi-amd64-bin:amd64 (2.02-2ubuntu8.17, 2.02-2ubuntu8.20), grub-efi-amd64:amd64 (2.02-2ubuntu8.17, 2.02-2ubuntu8.20), grub-efi-amd64-signed:amd64 (1.93.19+2.02-2ubuntu8.17, 1.93.22-galliumos1+2.02-2ubuntu8.20), grub-theme-starfield:amd64 (2.02-2ubuntu8.17, 2.02-2ubuntu8.20)

ran reconfigure on grub packages $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-common grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed grub-theme-starfield grub2-common For question of setting NVRAM variables, I choose "no". Then rebooted successfully.

A detailed description of the problem, and steps to reproduce it Having issues with latest grub. During initial installation, if the network is connected there's a grub error and the install fails. The work around is to not connect the network during install. Then for updates, "apt upgrade" "seems" to be safe, as the below grub packages are held back.
So for now I'm avoiding these below updates, to avoid having to reinstall again, or try to fix grub.
