Comment 55 for bug 1795292

Happy to confirm that I am typing this from the laptop running a fresh Ubuntu 18.10 installation. The only snag I had was after the installer completes, it doesn't want to pop up the grub menu (goes straight into booting Ubuntu), which would prompt a crash due to the grub cmd not being in place. You have to hit ESC right before the Lenovo boot logo disappears for this to pop up. After that you can edit the boot line to get booted up and edit /etc/default/grub.

Thanks again everyone for your help!
