[Bug 1207749] [NEW] kubuntu 13.04 installation aborted: grub-efi failed to install in /target/

[David Martinek]

Public bug reported:

I am trying to install Kubuntu 13.04 on Acer Aspire V3-571G alongside
the preinstalled Windows 8.

My seetings in "bios":
UEFI is on (as opposite to the Legacy mode) (I suppose the Windows 8 is installed in EFI mode.)
SecureBoot is off

I parted the disk manually. The efi boot partition is on the disk
already, so i did not change it. The instalation every time fails with
the message "grub-efi package failed to install in /target/".
