Yesterday, I repeated a fresh install with the daily build of yesterday. The problem is still there: Ubiquity installs Ubuntu fine, and installs Grub as well. Only... it wrongly identifies the BIOS as EFI, so it installs the Grub EFI packages. Which makes the laptop unbootable, because it's an ord

The log file seems to think that it installed GRUB successfully. What exactly was your symptom? Did it simply fail to boot? Exactly what did you type to install GRUB from the terminal in the live session? ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this b
