[Bug 1639374] Re: grub-pc fails to remove, causing lubuntu installs to crash

[Maris Nikos]

If people can comment on this ticket whether the following is true in
their case, then the following page can be updated.

"In your firmware, disable QuickBoot/FastBoot and Intel Smart Response
Technology (SRT). If you have Windows 8, also disable Fast Startup...
Support for UEFI SecureBoot appeared in 12.10 and 12.04.2."

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#General_principles

In my case I disabled both FastBoot and SecureBoot so maybe FastBoot was
the root cause.
