Bugs,
Hi Alberto,
Are you asking the reporter or someone else to report this upstream?
What's the relationship of the Red Hat installer to the ubuntu
installer? (As far as I can tell the bug has already been fixed months
ago in upstream efibootmgr)
Regards,
Chris

Thanks @addam-edgley et al! I was thrashing on this for most of last
night but figured it out in the morning.
I had a slightly different experience (mainly encrypted root with LVM),
so recording it in full for The People Of The Future™. This is very
similar to Adam's post and the answer at
Thanks for the above.
My process was to boot into live environment, then (as root):
- Set up my chroot as per
http://superuser.com/questions/376470/how-to-reinstall-grub2-efi
- Add deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted to my
/etc/apt/sources.list
- apt-get update
-
Lenovo T440s
I used solution from http://superuser.com/questions/376470/how-to-
reinstall-grub2-efi in combination with installation of efibootmgr
mentioned above after chrooting and before grub commands and it works.
Another solution could be:
mkdir /mnt/efi
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/efi
mkdir

Yes the 14.04 installer won't detect Windows 8.1. What I did was install
using 14.10, disover it had broken my system then manually install into
the partitions created by the 14.10 installer in the 14.04 installer.
I then put a hold on efibootmgr and upgraded

I seem to have run into this problem with a new Lenovo T440p (same
message and same behavior). I don't seem to be able to make the
workaround work, though. I've created a live CD for 14.04.1, and I
can boot from it. However, when the installer starts, it says that
there is no other OS and only
I can confirm that putting a hold on efibootmgr and upgrading works
fine.
I'd like to be able to remove the hold on this package though.

Thanks for the workaround.
I was doing a fresh install and tried various settings to make ubuntu boot with
uefi on a lenovo thinkpad T440s.
Installing the efibootmgr from 14.04 worked fine, you can get it here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/trusty/amd64/efibootmgr/download
I use apt-get, so sudo
That's right - I installed the older package from a 14.04 live
DVD/chroot, and used sudo aptitude hold efibootmgr to stop it being
updated to the broken version.
There may be simpler way of doing the live/chroot way, but I had to do a
bunch of bind mounts into the mounted fs (eg for /dev, /proc,
Same problem on Lenovo ThinkPad E540.
Chris, could you please explain in more detail how did you downgraded
efibootmgr? I wasn't able to find that version 0.5.4-7ubuntu1.

I believe Chris installed the old version from 14.04 using a live cd and
chroot. I'm assuming you can pin that package on 14.04 then upgrade. Either
way this is a game breaking bug

Had the same problem on a new Lenovo X140e. Tried to wipe Windows and
install 14.10 and it refused to boot, giving this error.
Installed 14.04 without problem.

I had exactly the same problem on my W540.
I think it's an efibootmgr issue:
https://github.com/vathpela/efibootmgr/issues/7
I fixed it from a live CD by manually downgrading the efibootmgr
package to 0.5.4-7ubuntu1 (ie the one from 14.04 that was previously
working) and rerunning grub-install
Looking at the efibootmgr commit log, I think this is probably fixed in
v0.8 (but I haven't verified this).
