I am looking for a method to install a linux system on HP Probook x360 11 G1 EE.
Each time grub2 installation is failing. Changing security/efi boot options in bios doesn't change at all. Issue is not dependable on distro type.

Looking only for answers from people working exactly on HP Probook x360 11 G1 EE.

Facing error on sudo dpkg --configure -a

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of grub-efi-amd64-signed:

grub-efi-amd64-signed depends on grub-efi-amd64 | grub-pc; however:

Package grub-efi-amd64 is not configured yet.

Package grub-pc is not installed.



dpkg: error processing package grub-efi-amd64-signed (--configure):

dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Errors were encountered while processing:

Update: Tails is booting from usb easily.

Almost the same question here.

Edit 2018.11.14:

I managed to install peppermint on Virtualbox with Win10 as main system with no issues. Wondering why there are no issues here. Grub2 is working properly.

Is there a method to replicate settings from VM to main machine?
