[Bug 1428482] [NEW] grub2 error on 64-bit efi system - fresh install fails

[strangeattractor]

Public bug reported:

When doing a fresh install, GRUB 2 does not install correctly.

It is similar to Bug ​#1279470, but turning off Secure Boot in the BIOS
and being connected to the internet during the installation doesn't fix
it.  Also, it is a different distribution from Bug ​#1279470: it is
Ubuntu MATE 15.04 Beta 64-bit Live DVD, not Xubuntu or Lubuntu. The Live
DVD was booted in EFI mode.
