--- Comment #7 from Rik Shaw <riksha...@gmail.com> ---
I work with another Ubuntu-based respin (Wasta-Linux: www.wastalinux.org) and
was also experiencing this problem *only with Ubuntu 18.04* based respins. In
the past under Ubuntu 16.04(-) when installing in EFI mode the grub.cfg was
placed in /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg
But, starting with 18.04, it was getting installed to
/boot/efi/EFI/wasta-linux/grub.cfg. However, when booting the system, it would
drop to a "grub>" prompt because it was looking for
/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg. So maybe Ubuntu updated part that was
hard-coded to go to /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu but not all parts??
Through manual testing, I have confirmed that the place the EFI/<folder name>
comes from is the FIRST word in the GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR variable from
/etc/default/grub. So in summary, if this is set to GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Ubuntu
Wasta-Linux 18.04" everything will work correctly when installing in EFI mode
(it will install grub to /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg). So I would guess that
for a quick hack Neon could set GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Ubuntu KDE Neon 18.04" and
everything would work.
Sorry I haven't been smart enough to figure out which grub customization needs
corrected in the Ubuntu grub packages or else I would attempt a proper patch.
By the way for others that want to re-spin: we maintain an updated Remastersys
from old and now call it wasta-remastersys:
https://github.com/wasta-linux/wasta-remastersys We know others like Pinguy
have made some changes but we have done some cleanup and refactoring to perform
better and be compatible with newer Ubuntu versions.
