Summary0008514: Executing 'grub-install dummy' failed
Description

I just purchased a new Dell Micro 7010 with Ubuntu OS installed. When I try to install Kali Linux it runs the installation and then fails to write the grub boot loader to the nvme drive. I disabled secure boot and certificate options in uefi. This is a new machine and does not have the run-in legacy option available.

This appears to be a known issue yet none of the fixes have not worked for me.

partition 1 /dev/nvme0np1 ESP
partition 2 /dev/nvme0np2 ext4
partition 3 /dev/nvme0np3 swap

Any help is appreciated.

Could you provide these files not as docx? Ideally as text files?

I tried to install Ubuntu on this pc and got the same error. I am not dual booting. I was hoping to delete everything and install KAli to the 256 GB Nvme drive.

I was wondering if the ticket was still open? I am having the same problem only it won't let me delete the esp partition. it keeps saying that I have two files that are out of date, they were just downloaded with everything new. I will see if I can get back into the installer for Kali to get the file names.

My resolution was to delete the ESP partition. I did this by booting a Windows server evaluation OS. I was able to delete the partition using Disk Manager in Windows, then I aborted the installation and reinstalled Kali Linux. I feel dirty using WinDoz but I could not get Gparted to work.
