(Get the code!)
Kubuntu 13.10 is broken for UEFI installs. You will just get the grub2 cli after reinstall..
Its a really stupid bug - with a really easy fix - you just need to copy the kubuntu folder in the efi directory to ubuntu.
i.e
sudo cp -rv /boot/efi/
Will 'fix' it.
It looks like its effecting various people
i.e - randomly found this.

To fix this surely the 13.10 .iso will have to be rebuilt?
-------
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
13.10 - kubuntu
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
$ dpkg -l |grep grub

ii grub-efi-amd64 2.00-19ubuntu2 amd64 GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI-AMD64 version)
ii grub-efi-amd64-bin 2.00-19ubuntu2 amd64 GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI-AMD64 binaries)
ii grub-efi-
ii grub2-common 2.00-19ubuntu2 amd64 GRand Unified Bootloader (common files for version 2)
3) What you expected to happen
The install to work
4) What happened instead
Install not able to boot - just grub2 cli - had to manually copy the efi directory to 'ubuntu' to 'fix' it
