Ubuntu 20.04.3. The same issue.
Command executed:
grub-install /dev/sdc --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi/ -vv
The result:

`\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi', ESP at mduuid/44c7e894b6d510634f9493d9e9cb20a9.

On the other hand, this issue prevented me from getting any further
updates via APT because it never progressed past trying to reconfigure
one of the grub packages (grub-efi-amd64-signed, I believe), hence even
if such update were available, it will not help existing cases when

I just installed the following updates. Seems to have fixed the issue
for me; grub-install now runs without error. Thanks very much!
Upgraded the following packages:
libefiboot1 (37-2ubuntu2.1) to 37-2ubuntu2.2
libefivar1 (37-2ubuntu2.1) to 37-2ubuntu2.2

This worked for me: sudo grub-install --no-nvram
The issue happened during a software update, it may be due to
permissions on boot/efi which is on a different device (sdaX)

Happened to me on Budgie 20.04.1, too.
I killed the processes and restarted, later just restarted.
Boot seemed fine all the times.
Never tried to let it further with the checkbox, though.

After successfully executing 'sudo grub-install /dev/sdb --no-nvram' I

necessary, but it seem not to have done any harm.

Yes, @Jack Christensen (jchristensen), it’s the same for me too.
I found it interesting to read the explanation given at this link:

I hope it’s useful to everyone.

I also experienced this issue, although the system rebooted fine
afterwards. The grub-install command continued to fail afterwards. As
noted above, adding --no-nvram allows grub-install to run. I don't
understand what might be lost by not updating NVRAM variables. System

I upgraded with synaptic.
A window warned me that the EFI partition was not writable and GRUB could not

If I clicked "next" without checking the box, then I returned to the same

I have the same issue on bare metal (Ryzen 3600 on B550 MB) and --no-

Had the same error message installing Ubuntu 20.04.1. Following Alexei
Lozovsky's advice above, I made my EFI partition the first partition on
the disk, and also made it a primary partition as opposed to a Logical

successfully.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

After some experiments and meditation on the process I have found the

Somehow -- most likely due to my mistake -- the EFI system partition

I have experienced the same issue with Ubuntu 19.04, 19.10, and 20.04
installers. The system does not boot after the error message. Setting
"efi_no_storage_paranoia" from [1] does not seem to help and the syslog
does not seems to contain useful info other than the "Operation not
permitted" error.
I also had faced same issue in xubuntu 20.04 installation.

Upgraded 19.10=>20.04lts beta with do-release-upgrade -d, today. Got two
times an ASCII window warning message like "grub failed to install. If
you continue, your system might not boot". Continued anyway and the
system still boots.
However, I can reproduce the error in console now via sudo grub-in
