Public bug reported: Starting up this weekend's Live DVD of Xubuntu, I am unable to produce a system that will boot EFI mode from the hard disk.
The BIOS is configured to EFI boot mode for the disks. This last attempt, I manually wiped the partitions from the drive before launching the installer from the LiveDVD. Check the partition table sudo wipefs /dev/sda Wipe the gpd partition table sudo wipefs -a -t gpt -f /dev/sda Double check that the wipe was successful with the first command, came back empty / blank. Next started the Xubuntu installer from the desktop icon. Chose manual partitioning, created the following sda1 500M Primary EFI Boot sda2 remainder Primary xfs / Once the installation got done, I opened Gparted to confirm the partitions. The EFI partition was mounted to /target/boot/efi The XFS partition was mounted to /target/ The EFI partition had boot, esp flags on it. I restarted the system, shuts down, exhibits the usual with Jammy defect 1962466, I push a key to restart, system goes through BIOS screens, then lands at a black screen with blinking cursor in the top left corner. Getting systems to boot from the hard drive is very frustrating in the era of EFI boot. :-( ** Affects: live-build (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1962470 Title: Jammy Live installer not producing booting EFI hard drive installations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/live-build/+bug/1962470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
