Public bug reported: I am trying to install Ubuntu Studio to my empty SSHD. The problem is that I don't understand very well how to prepare the partition table, initially, I use to do this, as MBR:
/dev/sda1 EFI 1024Mb /dev/sda2 swap 2048Mb /dev/sda3 / <remaining space> Then I tried: /dev/sda1 EFI 1024Mb /dev/sda2 swap 2048Mb /dev/sda3 /boot 2048Mb /dev/sda4 / <remaining space> And finally, restarted and clicked on the "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" option, but still getting the same error: "executing grub install /dev/sda failed". I use to format the entire Solid Hard Drive with Parted Magic before installing a new system.
