Hello Trisquel developers! Can you deal with the UEFI boot problem? The version number of grub-efi-amd64 is inconsistent with the version number of grub(2)-common it depends on. It cannot be installed via UEFI boot. The installer reports an error. Please fix it!
I used the chroot command to enter the root directory of the trisquel virtual machine partition where the installation failed, and I found it when I tried to manually install grub-efi-amd64!

Hi. If you are using a live installation, it may help to enable the Internet connection during the installation. The installer will download the necessary package. At least that's what worked for me.

Pre-release Trisquel 10 images work fine on one of my UEFI systems.

If you use Trisquel 9, you can try to use the text mode installer, which is essentially Debian Installer and has much better UEFI support. Internet connection is required, so you need an NIC that doesn't require non-free firmware.
