Ok, it was a while in between me first installing the UEFI test build after reading the forum post. I will follow directions now.
- Is Secure Boot and or UEFI enabled on your computer
Secure Boot is not enabled, UEFI is enabled.
- What install options you choose (check boxes on the installer etc)
I just performed a standard install. The only thing different is I clicked Something Else for partitioning. I created a Root partition only. I have a multi boot box so I already had a Swap partition that is shared amongst the distros.
- Whether this is a dual, multiple or single boot
I have a multi boot box with 7 different versions of Linux on it.
- Any errors that occur during the install: please keep an eye on the installer, see where it crashes
Installed Linux Lite twice. The first I did it without an internet connection. The install completed successfully but Linux Lite was not listed in Grub when I rebooted.
I installed Linux Lite the second time with the internet connection. The install stopped at the stage of the grub2 package with the following message coming up on the screen:
"The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB bootloader, the installed system will not boot".
I rebooted the PC and came upon the Grub Rescue screen. I had to use Boot-Repair via a USB flash drive. Grub was restored and Linux Lite was an option in Grub. I booted into Linux Lite.
- Screenshot any crashes or error messages
I wasn't able install Linux Lite software, Install Updates or run Synaptic. I received different error messages when I tried all those. I received the errors below. I am having trouble for some reason getting the error screen shots link to post. http://imgur.com/gallery/GD1eJ
-Solution
I opened Terminal and ran sudo apt update. I then ran sudo apt upgrade. I rebooted when it was done.
Jerry, do you have any updates on how the UEFI version is going?
