Hello!
I have two UEFI laptops here, and when it comes to installing 3.0 and 'shimming in' UEFI, I'm batting .500.
My Dell 3135 netbook upgrade/install went smoothly by following your tutorial. However, on my Toshiba L55D laptop, I couldn't mount the bios_grub partition I created in the 3.0 installer. It couldn't recognize the partition type.
Apparently, there have been changes in the way all this works in 16.04, as opposed to the way it works in 14.04. This seems to have affected being able to install n3.0 in a multiboot USB environment, and the way the 16.04 installer works.
For ME, even the 'buntu 16.04 installer wouldn't let me install updates along with the base OS. Even though I had a working wireless connection set up, the 'install updates' option was grayed out, no matter what I tried.
16.04.1 is supposed to be released sometime this month. Let's see what the 'buntu boys fix for us all in THAT version, and see what filters down into 3.2.
Perhaps some of the issues people are now facing with 3.0 will disappear on their own, as the Bluetooth issues finally did. In all fairness, Bluetooth was and still is 'broken' in ALL the Debian-based distros including the 'buntus - despite progress having been made in getting a working version of blueman into the repositories. Had they bothered to include all the .conf files in the /etc/bluetooth folder, they'd have nailed it...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
