While installing Ubuntu 16-04-1 from USB device on a Thinkpad P50 with SSD drive; and selecting "Erase disk and install Ubuntu"; and selecting Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security;
it results in this error message:
"Executing 'grub-install/dev/nvme'failed. This is a fatal error"
The problem has been experienced by others, but the solutions always seem to involve setting the correct name for the bootloader as /dev/nvme0n1 after using the "Something else" option in the Installation type screen. See this thread for example: Cannot install Ubuntu 16.04 on Dell XPS 9550 -- grub-install /dev/nvme failed
I don't know how to set the location for the bootloader as /dev/nvme0n1 and still enjoy automatic disk encryption, with swap and whatever else all encrypted and automatically sorted out for me.
Any help would be much appreciated.
nvme0n1
instead ofnvme
