Public bug reported: I am trying to install Kubuntu 13.04 on Acer Aspire V3-571G alongside the preinstalled Windows 8.
My seetings in "bios": UEFI is on (as opposite to the Legacy mode) (I suppose the Windows 8 is installed in EFI mode.) SecureBoot is off I parted the disk manually. The efi boot partition is on the disk already, so i did not change it. The instalation every time fails with the message "grub-efi package failed to install in /target/".
