The latest versions fails to boot. After installing I end up in grub menu :-( I've tied the 1611 and the 2311 ISO user edition images with the same result
Same is happening to me. Grub fails to install during Calamares. After that the installation stops and closes. Then you boot and you are sent to the grub prompt. This appears to have with systems using EFI boot. This is happening in all versions of Neon, unstable daily, stable, lts, etc. Please check.
fix is compiling
When installing from the live cd I get this error after Calamares tries to update initframs Boost.Python error in job "bootloader". <class 'subprocess.CalledProcessError'> Command 'grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=KDE_neon_Developer_Edition_(Unstable_Branches) --force' returned non-zero exit status 1 Traceback: File "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/calamares/modules/bootloader/main.py", line 351, in run prepare_bootloader(fw_type) File "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/calamares/modules/bootloader/main.py", line 322, in prepare_bootloader install_grub(efi_directory, fw_type) File "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/calamares/modules/bootloader/main.py", line 253, in install_grub "--force"]) File "<string>", line 2, in <module> This error is well-documented online. However, if you try the suggested fixes, it still fails to launch Neon automatically and you are sent to the grub prompt.
I guess I should have said I tried git unstable for 28 Nov release.
fixed in neon-useredition-20171129-1051-amd64.iso
Just one more thing, Dev Unstable builds are not updated to the Nov 29 version. Still on Nov 28. The other 3 releases are on Nov 29. https://files.kde.org/neon/images/neon-devedition-gitunstable/current/
Thanks a lot for tagging me and providing the fix.

Just out of curiosity, how can you capture these error during installation? Which ISO are you using? @Andres Thanks
dev unstable builds use calamares by default and that does still have the issue Andreas reports. A workaround is to apt install ubiquity-frontend-kde and use ubiquity.
Sounds good!
