Public bug reported: Kubuntu 13.10 is broken for UEFI installs. You will just get the grub2 cli after reinstall..
Its a really stupid bug - with a really easy fix - you just need to copy the kubuntu folder in the efi directory to ubuntu. i.e sudo cp -rv /boot/efi/EFI/kubuntu /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu Will 'fix' it.
