After installing Ubuntu 16.04 on a HP stream netbook, I got this 

Error: grub-efi-amd64-signed failed to install into /target/

I have tried all sorts of different fixes:

  • legacy mode on/off
  • secure boot on/off
  • running the install again choosing my own partition because of UEFI specs.

I can't even remember all the things I've tried I'm just exhausted and annoyed at this. Please help.

Just to reply to you I've created this account and it's my first ever reply Even I was facing the same issue from past 3 days.

Now I've successfully installed Ubuntu 17.10. I'll tell the process as short as possible.

  1. Enable legacy.

  2. When you boot up the OS live, click on install and reach to the process where you select the partition. Here instead of giving 2 partition (i.e swap & ext4), we'll give 3 partitions(ext4, swap and efi).

  3. Now you give ext4 partition with / mount point.

  4. Select how much swap you want as well.

  5. Now, select more than 1 GB (I took 2GB) and give the partition as efi.

  6. Now carry on the remaining installation.

You'll be able to install the OS. Remove USB when reboot and Enjoy :)
