I am trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 3180). I tried a live 18.04 USB first of all but it kept freezing after a few seconds, keypad or touch pad wouldn't work both when trying the installer and running live. Windows 10 was pre installed on the laptop

I made a 16.04.4 USB, when I tried this live, the touchpad wouldn't work, but I was able to navigate and use the keypad. I figured if I could complete the installation it would free up the USB slot for me to try a wired mouse which might work. I began the installation and everything worked until I received the error:

'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into/ target/. without the grub boot loader....

I couldn't read the rest as the installation was trying to move on and the screen faded and powered down. When I restarted the PC it was running a hardware diagnostic.

Any ideas on what to try would be appreciated?

Here are some photos showing how I tried the installation step by step

How's it going, I have tried every series of ubuntu 18,16,14, budgie, bodhi, lubtuntu. The only one that I could get to work right out of installation was ubuntu 14.04. Every time I upgrade it freezes etc.

Hope this helps.
