LMDE Betsy installer doesn't install grub-efi on MacBook Pro

[John Franklin]

Running the LMDE 2 (Betsy) installer on a MacBook Pro (macbookpro9,2), with only the following partitions, all created new during the install:

/boot/efi (200MB, fat32, bootable)
/boot (1GB, ext4)
/ (10GB,ext4)
/usr (40GB, ext4)
swap (10GB)
/home (the rest, ext4)

The install completes and claims to install a bootloader, but the system is unbootable.

To fix:

* Rebooting into the Live USB image
* mounting everything (including /boot/efi)
* mount --bind /dev /sys and /proc (per instructions here: https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstall )
* chroot
* apt-get update
* apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi

Several new packages are installed with the last line and the system is bootable, but the LMDE Betsy installer should install grub-efi on systems that need it.

I'm not sure this is still the case. It definitely installs grub-efi, at least if it detects the system as being GPT/UEFI.

I can reproduce the fact that grub-efi is installed on macbook here.

I'm closing this one. If the problem still occurs in the new upcoming ISOs please report the issue on github directly: https://github.com/linuxmint/live-installer/issues
