Bug description
When installing Linux Mint it works the first time, but if you install codecs, choose password, but then give up on the installation at the point of choosing whether to format the disk and install - the installation is broken on the next try and throws and error along the lines of "Can't find mmx64.efi".
Steps to reproduce
Create a bootable USB using Etcher
Begin installation of Linux Mint
Install multimedia codecs
Choose a password
When choosing whether to format drive drive and install - give up on the installation and abort it
Now, the next time you try to boot from the USB an error is thrown along the lines of: "Can't find mmx64.efi"
A solution
Disabling "Secure Boot" in bios, and renaming "/EFI/boot/grubx64.efi" to "mmx64.efi" worked for me
What did not work
Creating a new bootable USB from scratch
Expected behavior
Expected behavior is that the installation functions as normal on subsequent attempts without throwing an error.
