Bug Description

While installing Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my Lenovo Y50-70 laptop installation crashed.
I selected UEFI installation and manually created two partition ou of the "C" drive of Windows 8.1
one for "/" and one for "swap"
At a point installation crashed because UEFI grub cannot be installed.
