I have a lengthy work-around to install a work-able Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop.
This is NOT a supposed fix to the bug, but this serve as a temp solution of all fellow users with the same issue. WARNING: To follow my steps, you.d better have experience on custom partition configuration. If you don't know what I am talking about, forget it. Steps: 1. install Ubuntu 14.04 i386 version with "Custom" installation option. Dedicate a primary partition to /boot. 2. install Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 version with "Custom" installation. Reuse the partition config for your i386 installation. DO NOT format the /boot folder. 3. After booting into your installation, open terminal and run the command "sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y install grub-pc". This will remove grub-efi* for you. 4. If you missed the prompt to do configuration, run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" (replace sda with your harddisk name) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299134 Title: grub-installer failed during install trusty 64bit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1299134/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
