I am trying to dual boot my HP envy x360 with 512 GBs of SSD and Windows 10 Home already installed. I created a bootable USB using Rufus and put Ubuntu 22.04 on it.
I also disabled Secure Boot from my BIOS settings.
BIOS Boot Options:
I disabled bitlocker and decrypted my C drive, I also shrank the C drive to create some unallocated space.
I have the following storage controllers: !device manager showing RST storage controllers
I then rebooted my laptop from the USB using the "change advanced startup options" of windows, I will include the steps below:
(I chose the "EFI USB device option")
I then chose the "Install Ubuntu" option and chose normal installation. When asked where to install Ubuntu, I chose the Install Ubuntu alongside Windows Boot Manager option:
The installation started and the progress bar was filled until near the end, when I got this Error: Unable to install GRUB in /dev/nvme0n1: executing 'grub-install /dev/nvme0n1' failed. this is a fatal error.
I was asked to restart the computer, after which windows was loaded.
Other ways I have tried:
- I chose the "something else" option on the installation type and mounted 3 GBs as the /root directory and mounted the rest of the free space I had created on windows as the root (/) directory. the rest of the options were left unchanged, this is a picture of the partitioning screen.
After trying to install, I got the same error as before, but Ubuntu was installed on my drive as the next time I tried to run the installer, I was given the option to Erase and reinstall Ubuntu.
I again chose the "something else" option and this time only the / directory to the free space and set the "Device for bootloader installation" to the partition marked as "Windows Boot Manager". I tried installing again and got the same error.
I burned another version (Ubuntu 20.04) onto the USB and tried installing using the Something else option and got the same error.
I would be glad to share any info/screenshots that would clarify the problem.
I got a Boot Info Summary using Boot-Repair and got this pastebin: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DZdJGBshsP/

Suggested repair: ______________________________________________________________
The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility would purge (in order to enable-raid) and reinstall the grub-efi of
nvme0n1p5,
using the following options: nvme0n1p1/boot/efi
Additional repair would be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s use-standard-efi-file
Blockers in case of suggested repair: __________________________________________
/target detected. Please close the Ubuntu installer, then retry.
Final advice in case of suggested repair: ______________________________________
Please do not forget to make your UEFI firmware boot on the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS entry (nvme0n1p1/efi/**/grub.efi (** will be updated in the final message) file) !
If your computer reboots directly into Windows, try to change the boot order in your UEFI firmware.
If your UEFI firmware does not allow to change the boot order, change the default boot entry of the Windows bootloader.
For example you can boot into Windows, then type the following command in an admin command prompt:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI**\grub.efi (** will be updated in the final message)
