Public bug reported:
I've been trying to get Ubuntu 18.04 installed no the laptop. I have 4x
drives and I'm installing in /dev/sde which is a 250Gb SSD. Setup custom
BRTFS partitions, 100Gb (/), 100Gb (home), 8Gb (Swap), free space for
SSD over-provisioning. Got a "cannot install bootloader on /dev/sde",
tried changing to /dev/sda, sda1, etc.... but the installer didn't allow
to cancel or change anything.
In this last attempt I've let the installer erase the entire disk and
choose it's own partition setup using LVM. Now there is a different
error.
This same laptop has been running Centos 7 and Mint for several years
without a problem.
