I can't reproduce this on the daily image (tried 20170208, to be
precise). This was due to grub-common being in the seed rather than
grub2-common; which lead to grub-pc not being on the livefs.

Matthieu, it does appear to be something special about the lubuntu

something could be. I can't see anything that would cause grub-pc to

reproduce it with a set -x

I am the original poster. I can't really help a lot. boot repair was not
the best fix but it got the system running. basically, the system never
worked properly and I eventually had to give up and I have been using an
older ubuntu system.

There are dozens of duplicates. EFI installs of lubuntu are completely
broken.

I'm glad some people managed to fix their issues. I'll mark this bug
Incomplete since the original reporter hasn't answered.
To be frank though, it's probably best to avoid using boot-repair if
possible unless you really can't do a new install (which shouldn't be an
issue if you've just ran into i
The problem was the Windows flash drive. I zeroed it out, and then
installation finished fine. I wanted the flash drive to be the boot drive,
but the installer skipped it, and used the larger drive for all partitions.
The system has been fine ever since.

I was able to use a boot repair tool while booted from the installer

That seemed to fix things. Sorry for the delayed response.

This most likely has nothing at all to do with Fastboot or Secure Boot.
The system appears to be correctly detected as booted in UEFI mode;
which will trigger grub-installer removing grub-pc (since it's not
needed).
For instance, from the logs:

I am adding the lubuntu-packaging team as this affects Lubuntu and not
other ubuntu distributions.
grub is packaged in a way that breaks the installation when BIOS has
fastboot enabled.

Strange... I thought it was an error in the way lubuntu was packaged
since it only seems to happen with Lubuntu and not with any other
flavors. Fastboot and secureboot should have nothing to do with grub-
pc's removal.

I managed to solve my problem. Somehow, my Lubuntu installation started
in efi mode, but it only had grub package for mbr. When I downloaded
grub for efi, Lubuntu installed correctly.

Yes after disabling fastboot and secureboot, I didn't see this error and
Lubuntu was installed successfully. I didn't try Ubuntu at all.
Grub seams to depend on BIOS settings specific to each vendor (Lenovo,
etc) like fastboot and that this irrelevent to which ubuntu distribution
we talk about.

So without fastboot and secureboot, you are able to install lubuntu? Or
did you also switch to ubuntu?

Hi there!
In my case the issue is just with Lubuntu 16,10... I have kali linux installed
(kernel 4.8) and no issue.
Both installations were done in EFI mode
My BIOS is "toshiba v 5.10"

Even if a grub2 developer read this bug, I guess it is not feasible for
grub2 to read BIOS configuration (like FastBoot and SecureBoot of Lenovo
B50).
In that case, having a list of BIOS configurations that are or are not
compatible with grub2 can help a newcomer troubleshoot such cases.
