This bug is marked as "Fix Released" but after years of running Manjaro
I decided to give Ubuntu a try again with Disco Dingo 19.04 and it was
simply impossible because it still exists. I could get past the initial
error, and Ubuntu thought it was installed, but trying to boot just
output the error message on an otherwise black screen.

The message is the same as everyone else is getting:
Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
MODSIGN: Couldn't get UEFI db list
Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e

So unfortunately I just had to reinstall Manjaro so I could get back to
work. By the way this is the reason I left Ubuntu in the first place. If
you want to run a years old OS with years old software you can use an
LTS release that's fairly stable. But if you want a current OS and
current software interim Ubuntu releases are most often disasters, right
up until it's life cycle is over.

And then the nightmare begins all over again.

But if Ubuntu is ever able to maintain a distribution that's three
months or less behind mainline I'll give it a try again. It would be
nice to use .deb packages without translation. It's a shame, and I
really don't understand. Manjaro and other rolling releases have nowhere
near the problems Ubuntu has keeping up to date. Their only downside is
that for the most part no one supports them, so you have to do a lot of
customization and compiling of third party software.

Anyway, good luck guys and gals. Despite my complaining I wish the best
for Ubuntu.
