This affects me too. I have a newer Toshiba laptop that came with
Windows 8.1, and it boots UEFI. I created space using windows tools,
created a Linux swap and root partition, and installed Xubuntu 14.04.1
from DVD.
Everything went as expected except the grub-install, it seems.
If I boot from t
For a workaround, symlinking x86_64-efi to i386-pc works:
$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/root-tmp
$ sudo /dev/ /mnt/root-tmp
$ cd /mnt/root-tmp/usr/lib/grub
$ sudo ln -s x86_64-efi i386-pc
Then re-run the command to install grub-efi-amd64-signed.
Hope this helps.

Both the Ubuntu installer and grub-install react as if the installer is running

I think the focus should be concentrated there in order to squash this bug.

I tried the non-MAC variant of 14.04 LTS today and didn't have any problems

I have an older Macbook, and when trying to use the mac 14.04 installer
the GRUB installer always fails. It doesn't matter what partition or

The problem here was: I did not create an efi boot partition. But the
automatic installer did not create one as well nor complained about the
missing partition. I installed manually and it works now.

supergrub makes no sense - the efi partition was missing. Didn't set one up
