[Bug 1213362] [NEW] Troubles with Grub on a Windows 8 preinstalled laptop

[Tim Janson]

Public bug reported:

This happens when installing Ubuntu, either with automatically "install
alongside Windows 8" or with "Something else", where I selected the EFI-
partition already existing (not sure if Windows created this, or Ubuntu
created that partition with the "Install alongside Windows" option).

Will try again.

Also tried running boot-repair on a session run from the USB-stick, gave
me this report: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5995882/, not sure if it's
related or helps.
