This affects me too. I have a newer Toshiba laptop that came with
Windows 8.1, and it boots UEFI. I created space using windows tools,
created a Linux swap and root partition, and installed Xubuntu 14.04.1
from DVD.
Everything went as expected except the grub-install, it seems.
If I boot from
For a workaround, symlinking x86_64-efi to i386-pc works:
$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/root-tmp
$ sudo /dev/your-root-partition /mnt/root-tmp
$ cd /mnt/root-tmp/usr/lib/grub
$ sudo ln -s x86_64-efi i386-pc
Then re-run the command to install grub-efi-amd64-signed.
Hope this helps.

Like Hans Ostrowski :
grub-install search modinfo.sh in /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/ directory
BUT
modinfo.sh is in /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/ directory

Both the Ubuntu installer and grub-install react as if the installer is running
in Legacy mode and not in (U)EFI mode.
I think the focus should be concentrated there in order to squash this bug.

I have an older Macbook, and when trying to use the mac 14.04 installer

But if I go back to the 12.04 (original) .iso and try to install, it installs
without any problems.

The problem here was: I did not create an efi boot partition. But the
automatic installer did not create one as well nor complained about the
missing partition. I installed manually and it works now.
But the automatic should give a hint at least.

on tty4 I see:

So I select partition 2 and change type to raid and than run configure

manual grub-install from tty2 fails also with

Interesting. I'm doing a manually partitioned install through Ubiquity.
I'm also using a liveusb image, which has no /boot/efi directory.
However, when I submitted a bug after Ubiquity's crash, it got resolved
as a dupe of this one.

If you are doing manual partitioning and didn't set your efi system
partition up to be mounted in /boot/efi, then that's not a bug. You
need to do that step.

This happens to me on my ASUS Zenbook UX301LA. Since I'm booting from
USB, I needed to disable secure boot and boot via legacy. Then when I go
to install ubuntu I get this error.
I tried chrooting to manually run grub-install, but I get another error:
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI

Ih have to correct something. Bios was set on both, legacy first.
But it used UEFI. Yesterdays Daily-Build won't boot from USB pendrive
when legacy only is used... This confirmes #7 afaik. probably I'll
use super grub disc.

supergrub makes no sense - the efi partition was missing. Didn't set one up
because I thought I'm using legacy mode. Installer broke on doing initramfs
things (another bug probably), but I think grub-install did it's job.
I'm still wondering, why the pendrive won't boot in legacy mode!

Hi
I have windows 8.1 x64 and it boots in legacy mode. I wanted to install
Ubuntu on the same drive as windows is installed, with custom partition
layout (just added one / partition for linux). Second drive is for data
only. Both are new drives and ubuntu was installed just after windows
install.
