[Bug 1425162] [NEW] Cannot install on EFI bios. 10th time...

[SnolahC]

Public bug reported:

Acer E5-771.
First tried Mint 17 (based on ubuntu 14.04 lts), never reached a working system.
First bugs : have to touch "/target/etc/apt/sources.list" because a `sed` in the installation process fails and makes ubiquity crash.
Still cannot reach the end of the installation process on ubuntu...
4th day on this problem, this is driving me crazy, tried with DOS and EFI part tables, many tutos/bug reports on the net, and still nothing works.
Will I have to install win7 to have a propper desktop working on a new laptop ?!?
Thanks for support...
