[Bug 906045] Re: installer crashed grub-efi

[Yuv]

The bug I was reporting is actually  specific to the Lubuntu LiveCD.  I
filed bug 1201101.  This one can probably be closed, either because the
original report affects no longer supported releases, or because it is
fixed in subsequent releases.  I was able to install Kubuntu and Xubuntu
from their respective LiveCD, although I had to fix the EFI partition
after that, probably because of a quirk in the BIOS of my SONY Vaio Pro
13.  Assuming the EFI partition is in /dev/sda1, this is what I had to
do:

sudo su
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
cd /mnt/EFI
cp -a ubuntu Boot
cd Boot
mv grubx64.efi bootx64.efi
