I have hit a problem with fresh installs using recent snapshots. I have tried with 13022018, 14022018 & 15022018 and had the same issue.
Standard install using unused disc space - with kde plasma selected and using ext4. The installs run through fine until they try to install grub. The installation of grub fails and the error message is:
My system then re-boots in the normal way but fails as grub has not been installed. I have used a supergrub2 iso to start opensuse and manually created grub using the commands:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
grub2-install /dev/sda
This works fine and the system then boots normally. Although if for example I use yast2 / bootloader and in bootloader options I try to change the ‘timeout in secounds’ to 9 (from 10) and save - the same error message is shown.
I have a standard HP I7-4770 p/c and the system is shared with Windows 10. Safe boot is switched off.

Many thanks Malcolm. Good to know it is not just me!
I tried again with a fresh install and took the tick out of the ‘enable secure boot support’ and grub installed fine. Although I don’t use secure boot I have always in the past left the tick in.
