[Bug 1363719] Re: efibootmgr may create a duplicated boot entry, "breaking" UEFI boot.
This is a really serious issue for anybody running/upgrading/installing Utopic under UEFI. Another way of working around this limitation is to install the package from Vivid. Boot the system from a live CD and use wget to get ahold of the packages from Vivid: # Needed for the newer version to work correctly wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/e/efivar/libefivar0_0.15-2_amd64.deb wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/e/efibootmgr/efibootmgr_0.11.0-1_amd64.deb dpkg -i libefivar0_0.15-2_amd64.deb efibootmgr_0.11.0-1_amd64.deb Then run 'grub-update' (to make sure we have all the kernels accounted for) and then 'grub-install /dev/sdX' (replace X with the number of the harddrive you're using). After that booting in UEFI mode should be working again.

I was about to post another bug report but found this one. Again, if the bug was fixed, it would have saved me about 3 hours on a weekend to get to the bottom of this. I don't know if 14.10 is going to have new iso files made or if it is possible to have efibootmgr automatically updated before installation process begins, but if it is, please consider updating the package, as it just plain brakes installation on UEFI systems and the nature of the problem is too complicated for anybody but an expert to resolve on its own.

Hi, Just got bitten by the same bug after upgrading to ubuntu 14.10 (on a lenovo thinkpad x240). My laptop refused to boot after the upgrade to utopic and I suspected an issue with the uefi grub2 installation. Bootrepair does not detect this issue and since it uses efibootmgr it can not fix it.
