I got the same problem here. I have a laptop which pre-installed Win8. I disabled Secure Boot and partitioned the disk myself. Installing Kubuntu 12.10 from live USB was okay (though I still need to run boot-repair after installing, but at least there was no problem during the installation). However when installing Kubuntu 13.04 I got the same problem. It showed a dialog saying "grub-efi package failed to install in /target/", then ubiquity told me it crashed.
After crashing if I ran boot-repair, it would be possible to boot, but all the splash screen or plymouth screen would disappear. Just pure text with a lot of boot messages, then lightdm started. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1207749 Title: kubuntu 13.04 installation aborted: grub-efi failed to install in /target/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1207749/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
