I managed to install 14.04 by creating a separate /boot partition. I still got the error message that grub-efi-amd64-signed failed to install; but opening gparted before closing the installer, I notcied the /boot had about 150 MB on it.
The system EFI boot menu does not show any entry for 14.04, but I managed to boot 14.04 by running update-grub from a Debian install. Synapatic shows grub2-common as installed; but in addition to not booting normally, there are obvious problems with the system from failure to have the installer shutdown properly: ubiquity is still installed and shows on the launcher, apt-get install gparted fails because the apt thinks it is still installed, etc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299309 Title: grub2 efi failed to install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1299309/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
