[Bug 1285760] Re: Error on grub installer in Efi mode - I can't boot ubuntu from HDD

[Lantero-luca]

Now it's clear:  The first time probably I have used the 32 bit version 
of Xubuntu
Then I red the docs on Internet and switched to the correct version: 
xubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso.
But I thought Unetbootin cleans the USB and reload correctly !

Ok, next time I'l first format the usb !

Thanks

P.S. Must I do something to close the bug ?

Title:
  Error on grub installer in Efi mode - I can't boot ubuntu from HDD

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

Bug description:
  On Acer G570 with Windows 8.1 already installed and an EFI partition

  I have tried to install Ubuntu 12.04.4  from USB (dual boot).
  sda2 is the efi partition
  sda4 is tge Windows partition
  sda7 is the Ubutnu partition (mount point /)
   
  When we arrive at the grub installation I have an error: " Grub 2 fails tp install in the target directory".

  Then I have tried with "boot-repair" (Raccomanded option) it has
  created the grub file on the EFI partition.

  But then, when I try to boot, I receive the grub windows, but I'm unable to boot ubuntu (when I select ubuntu I received: "EFI disk error".
  Instead the boot of Windows works correctly
