16.04 Beta2 Testing feedback

[Franklin Weng]

Hi,


I tried to install in the virtual box with a virtual machine set to EFI
mode.
Live and installation were good without error messages.  However after
reboot it couldn't boot successfully.

One possible cause might be that, before installing kubuntu, I disconnected
all the network interfaces.

I'll try with the network connected later.  However in our case we may need
to install without internet.
Even installing with network connected succeeds, I still need to get this
problem solved.

Thanks,
Franklin
