[Bug 1455899] Re: install crashed on an acer aspire v nitro, UEFI problems

[Phillip Susi]

Your installation medium had a mixup of different files from different
versions of Ubuntu on it.  You need to blank the usb stick before making
it bootable.

Title:
  install crashed on an acer aspire v nitro, UEFI problems

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,

  trying to install from live USB 14.04 (15.05 seems broken) on a acer aspire nitro V notebook, in parallel with windows 8. partitions root, swap, and an additional /boot:efi FAT32. ESP lock was detected, I had some fun with boot-repair, but finally worked somehow using several boot-hops. Then 14.04 seemed broken, so try a new installation in /root partition. left it overnight, computer woke up correctly. now Install seems broken, quite likely boot loader problems. 
  I m trying boot-repair again. Thanks !

  Michael
