Please find attached /var/log/installer/syslog and partman The user managed to reinstall GRUB successfully. Current BootInfo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/892926
Remarks: - the "dmesg | grep EFI" output is much shorter now. (i don't know why, nor what it means) - when i originally filled the bug, i supposed that Ubiquity used grub-efi because of the presence of the "insmod efi_gop" , and "insmod efi_uga" in the grub.cfg. But currently these elements are still there even with grub-pc, so i guess now that my supposition was wrong, and Ubiquity indeed used grub-pc (but failed) ? if yes, i'll have to re-title this bug. ** Attachment added: "partman and syslog" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/916299/+attachment/2911091/+files/partman%20and%20syslog.tar.gz ** Description changed: - a user installed Ubuntu in dual-boot with Windows on a non-GPT computer. + a user installed Ubuntu in dual-boot with Windows on a non-GPT computer. The default installation failed (no access to Ubuntu), and broke access to Windows. Here is the Boot-Info-Script summary after installation: - stable: http://paste.ubuntu.com/803082 - GIT version: http://paste.ubuntu.com/803319/ - It seems that Ubiquity should have installed grub-pc instead of grub- - efi. + We can see the presence of the "insmod efi_gop" , and "insmod efi_uga" + in the grub.cfg (does it mean that Ubiquity installed grub-efi?)
