[Bug 1313873] Re: Failed to install with UEFI

[Zac Zuppas]

I don't know what happened but after I rebooted from the previously
mentioned install, there was still no GRUB screen but now it goes into
Ubuntu.  I logged the efibootmgr and it looks like Windows got dropped off
(attached).  The size of my home folder is indicating that it is now using
all of my hard drive!  Oops!  I wasn't expecting that from the "Remove
Ubuntu and reinstall" option.  Perhaps its because Ubiquity never noticed
the Windows 8 OS?

I guess I'm not dual booting anymore.

  Failed to install with UEFI

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi. I tried to install on a new Toshiba Satellite P55-A5312 along side
  a pre-installed Windows 8.

  With Secure Boot and UEFI enabled, it booted to Windows and I got:
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/7340996/

  With Secure Boot disabled and UEFI enabled, it booted to Windows and I got:
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/7341506/

  It successfully installed with both Secure Boot and UEFI disabled
  (although I have to switch between enable/disable UEFI in the BIOS to
  switch between Windows and Ubuntu).

  I sent this info to The Boot Repair Team and they said

  "What you describe is a bug of the Ubuntu installer (called "Ubiquity").

  I have moved on but I'm submitting this info in case it helps improve

  Thanks!
