same problem here. had internet connection on during install. the efi folder or whatever the name is, is completely empty, so no wonder it wont work :). this is a reacurring bug, see here: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=309&t=137368 the workaround worked for me for the time being, but the grub menu looks strange now :D (In reply to Lukas from comment #1) > same problem here. > had internet connection on during install. > the efi folder or whatever the name is, is completely empty, so no wonder it > wont work :). > this is a reacurring bug, see here: > https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=309&t=137368 > > the workaround worked for me for the time being, but the grub menu looks > strange now :D When I tried doing that, I got the message 'Can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab'. I also noticed that unless the computer has an active internet connection while installing, grub will fail to install at all and the installer will crash. If possible, is there a way to get an older image of Neon User where this wasn't a problem? I had the same issue. In my case the issue was that EFI looked for grub.cfg in the EFI/ubuntu folder but it is in the EFI/neon folder. Jonathan told me that there is a patch which should copy the file from /neon to /ubuntu but apparently that did not work. Copying the file manually solved the problem for me.

Yeah, I c/ped from EFI/neon to EFI/ubuntu and happily got neon working on my computer today :) Still, I noticed that the installer crashes when installing neon without an active internet connection, but that is probably suited for another bug report. Copying the grub.cfg into /efi/ubuntu is done by the installer ubiquity http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kdeneon/ubiquity-neon/trunk/view/head:/d-i/source/grub-installer/grub-installer#L196 EFI install not working without an internet connection is a bug in ubiquity which affects all flavours of Ubuntu. As such it's not a priority for us as we plan to change to Calamares anyway. https://phabricator.kde.org/T4765 sorted on today's ISOs Can this bug be reopened - as the same issue appears to affect the latest 'user' iso snapshot (18112017) and the previous version (17112017). The snapshot of the 08112017 works fine. It also affects the latest gitstable iso snapshot. More info is shown in the forum topic: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=309&t=142896&sid=ff0f7f7b6ffb1407e65705a3ced3a911 Today's iso snapshot (23112017) still has the same failed grub install issue. Hi there, I tried the ISO snapshot neon-useredition-20171123-1018-amd64.iso and encountered this issue as well. Is there any work around for this issue at the moment?
