Public bug reported: Lubuntu jammy daily QA test install to - hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 8gb amd/ati rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
This is an old (2005) machine (upgraded RAM, cpu & gpu only); no uEFI of any kind, thus I did NOT expect any issues with install. The installation media was booted from VENTOY media; my first attempt using ventoy; so I cannot rule out it causing issues here though here; to rule out ventoy involvement, I'd have to re-write media using normal `mkusb` or `dd` ** expected result calamares install completes; reboot & first login ** actual result Calamares reports "Installation Failed" "Bootloader installation error" Details --- The bootloader could not be installed. The installation command <pre>grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --force /dev/sda</pre> returned error code 1. --- I've had a recent error on an jammy install; this thus could be duplicate; but I'm unsure at this stage. I'll amend when at my primary box & have searched.
