Does the server use secure boot? If you're not running Windows on it, you
should be able to disable that. If you're just going to be running Ubuntu,
you can also change from EFI to legacy (sometimes called MBR) in the BIOS.
The name and method to do this depends upon the laptop. From your
description, as you deduce, Grub doesn't seem to have installed
successfully.
