Bug Description
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1) install Ubuntu on a computer with UEFI firmware
2) Reboot the PC, boot into Ubuntu, open a terminal and check that the 'sudo os-prober' command does not return any Windows entry.
REMARK: if it returns some Windows entry, but those entries are invalid, you may be affected by Bug #1024383 instead.
*******
either boot Windows from the (EFI) BIOS menu, or add valid Windows entries via Boot-Repair.
