Public bug reported: trying to install Lubuntu SD drive (/dev/mmcblk3p1). This is the 2nd time install failed. The internal solid state drive (/dev/mmcblk1) has 4 pre-installed partitions. The first partition is 100MB and labeled EFI System. The desktop version of Lubunto seems to work okay but I think that's because I added the file bootia32.efi into /EFI/BOOT. Before I added the efi file to that directory any attempt to boot lubuntu into desktop mode (try first) froze the system with no error message.
If I first start in desktop mode I can get the install onto the SD card to finish but it still doesn't boot into lubuntu (grub resets the system over and over). I suspect this is because the efi file. I will try to do that myself but I'm learning EFI shells on the fly. If I'm right this issue is a result of the manufacturer intentionally running a 32 bit UEFI firmware to a 64 bit system to thwart linux installations.
