Ubuntu – 32bit UEFI better support than a year ago

32-bittabletuefi

I'm trying to install Ubuntu or any other Linux on my Bay Trail based tablet and following 32-Bit UEFI Boot Support advice. Internal display is supported only if I add nomodeset to installation boot option and touch is also supported, however during installation following error message appears and installation is interrupted:
Installation Failed
The installer encountered an error copying files to hard disk:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'sbattach'
This is often due…

Installation is therefore interrupted.
Any help would be appreciated. As I appear to be very close after 30+ attempts using different distros to install Linux on the tablet.
In the light of huge popularity of these Bay Trail based devices, better support for them would be logical.

I installed Ubuntu 15.10 on my Liva X (which uses Bay Trail). I was following the same instructions, and got the same error.

To fix it, I booted to "Try Ubuntu without installing". I pulled up the Terminal, and typed

sudo apt-get install sbsigntool

Then I picked the "Install Ubuntu 15.10" icon on the screen. The sbattach error is now gone.
