Title:
  Kubuntu 13.04 amd64 LiveUSB installation crashes at " Running grub
  install dummy"

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,
  The Installer crashes at "Running grub install dummy" and I tried to report using command line "ubuntu-bug ubiquity" but it pops up a message saying "This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party package and try again." So I decided to file a bug report here.
  Here are the  detailed steps to the crash;
  step 1 : Booted Kubuntu 13.04 amd64 LiveUSB in UEFI mode
  step 2 : Selected Install Kubuntu
  step 3 : Selected "install third part software"
  step 4 : Used manual disk partitioning
  step 5 : Filled out all the remaining necessary details like time zone,keyboard layout,user details 
  step 6 : Installer tries to run grub install dummy and crashes

  Later I ran ubiquity in debug mode and it showed the message "The 'grub-efi' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot". I temporarily fixed the problem using Boot-Repair. 
  I am attaching the debug file and some log files too. If you need more details I would be happy to provide.
