[Bug 1285760] Re: Error on grub installer in Efi mode - I can't boot ubuntu from HDD

[Lantero-luca]

Yes, The first time I have load the Xubuntu-12.4.03, but it didn't work, 
then I loaded the Ubuntu release 12.4.04, without formatting the USB. I 
used Unetbootin to prepare the USB drive.
I can try to format the USB.

In any case yesterday evening I was able to load correctly ubuntu using 
the 13.10 release. With this release grub2 was correctly installed and 
the dual boot works.

Thanks a lot !

Title:
  Error on grub installer in Efi mode - I can't boot ubuntu from HDD

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Acer G570 with Windows 8.1 already installed and an EFI partition

  I have tried to install Ubuntu 12.04.4  from USB (dual boot).
  sda2 is the efi partition
  sda4 is tge Windows partition
  sda7 is the Ubutnu partition (mount point /)
   
  When we arrive at the grub installation I have an error: " Grub 2 fails tp install in the target directory".

  Then I have tried with "boot-repair" (Raccomanded option) it has
  created the grub file on the EFI partition.

  But then, when I try to boot, I receive the grub windows, but I'm unable to boot ubuntu (when I select ubuntu I received: "EFI disk error".
  Instead the boot of Windows works correctly
