This means that GRUB failed to update the UEFI variables on your system.
Are you using the generated configuration file or a custom one?

The most likely reason for this error is that you are using
'grub-efi-bootloader' on a non-EFI system.  Changing to
'grub-bootloader' should solve it in that case.

HTH,
Marius
