I don't remember receiving any actionable warning. I'll have to try
again when I get home tonight to refresh my memory.

Title:
  Failed to install grub2 from ubiquity

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When installing Ubuntu GNOME I chose the following options:

  Download updates - YES
  Install 3rd party - NO
  Keep UEFI - YES
  Format:
    /dev/sda
      /dev/sda1: ext4 -> /
      /dev/sda2: untouched (Ubuntu 15.10)
      /dev/sda3: untouched (shared ext4 partition)
      /dev/sda4: untouched (swap)
  Keyboard: USA
  Login automatically: YES

  Installation proceeds well until it attempts to install grub2, at
  which point syslog shows "grub-install: error: cannot find EFI
  directory"
