Bug Description
When booting Ubuntu or one of its flavors (noticed first with Xubuntu) in UEFI mode, ubiquity never opens. The issue this causes is that there is never a option to choose a language, so all systems booted in UEFI mode are always in English, consequently the language, keyboard and timezone are wrong.
My suggestion is to, instead of having two options (one to try and another to install), have one that boots in the ubiquity window, asking what the user wants to do and the language the user desires to use. Something like:
menuentry "Start Ubuntu" {
set gfxpayload=keep
linux /casper/vmlinuz.efi file=/cdrom/
initrd /casper/initrd.lz
}
