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

[Franklin]

I got the same problem here.

I have a laptop which pre-installed Win8.  I disabled Secure Boot and partitioned the disk myself.
Installing Kubuntu 12.10 from live USB was okay (though I still need to run boot-repair after installing, but at least there was no problem during the installation).  However when installing Kubuntu 13.04  I got the same problem.  It showed a dialog saying "grub-efi package failed to install in /target/", then ubiquity told me it crashed.

After crashing if I ran boot-repair, it would be possible to boot, but
all the splash screen or plymouth screen would disappear.  Just pure
text with a lot of boot messages, then lightdm started.

Title:
  kubuntu 13.04 installation aborted: grub-efi failed to install in
  /target/

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

Bug description:
  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/".
