Description Lukas 2016-11-25 13:58:32 UTC
The new version of the user edition iso (24-Nov-2016 11:44), as well as the developer edition (25-Nov-2016 12:16) will not boot after the installation is done.
it only boots into a grub command line with the headline: gnu grub version 2.02 beta2-36ubuntu3.2
and text under it: minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. for the first word, tab lists.......

repaired the grub with grub-repair, but still it wont boot. downloaded the iso 3 times and installed it 3 times to check if download was broken, but still the same result.

tested other iso´s like kubuntu and linux mint 18 kde. they both work fine.

i just did an install without internet/downloading updates during install and without installing third party software.

then i got the error message that it wasnt able to install grub into the target so the operating system wont be able to boot.

i think that is the problem

Experienced exactly the same problem with the latest iso i.e neon-useredition-20161124-1018-amd64.iso

i have found a work around 

viewtopic.php?f=309&t=134976&p=361816#p361816

but most likely instead of sda2 its sda1, you can use gparted or partitionmanager to figure it where your efi is


mkdir efi
sudo mount /dev/sda1 efi/
sudo cp efi/EFI/neon/* efi/EFI/ubuntu/

I can also confirm the same problem on a completely fresh UEFI install, no dual boot, no secure boot. The fix of moving files from neon to ubuntu worked.
Comment 5 Jonathan Riddell 2016-11-29 16:20:15 UTC
should be fixed when new version of ubiquity lands
