Regardless of the boot time errors after installing 13.10 then after using boot-repair and updating and rebooting then updating again has now given a usable install. It would appear debugging has been taken care of automatically. Still have not worked out how to get grub the boot manager to see and use the vmlinuz.efi files on liveDVD at install time which am sure will prevent the error/bug reported here. What i am trying to achieve is an efi install of Ubuntu. What is happening that due to the described inability of Ubuntu to see /casper/vmlinuz.efi files when booting using EFI the workaround of installing BIOS mode then installing grub-efi to get Ubuntu booting using EFI as well as telling installer to use existing ESP on sda most likely caused the fake initctl thing to happen!?.
The outcome of "sudo sh -x /usr/sbin/grub-install" gave more than one page output and tried saving output as .txt and .log file but the only output there in were the bootloaders as listed by efibootmgr. Ultimately returned no errors in terminal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1225478 Title: package grub-efi-amd64 2.00-18ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1225478/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
