I reported a bug that occurs in both Ubuntu Unity 20.10 and Xubuntu 20.10 and which prevents me from installing either OS on my computers:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1915152 It seems that the Ubiquity installer *requires* an EFI System Partition (ESP) even if being installed on a BIOS-based system with an MBR hard disk. None of my PC computers use UEFI. I do own 2 with UEFI but I run them in legacy BIOS mode with MBR-partitioned disks. So they do not have UEFI system partitions. Multiple retries of reinstallation of 20.10 always fail because of this. My bug report has attracted no attention so I wanted to ask if anyone had tried this in 21.04 yet? I do not want to repartition and reformat the HDDs of several computers just to install a new release of Ubuntu. :-( -- Liam Proven – Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk – gMail/gTalk/gHangouts: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn/Flickr: lproven – Skype: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 – ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053 -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
