[Bug 1605820] Re: ubuntu-mate install fails to install grub on dell e7470 with nvme ssd with gpt

2016-07-23 Thread James Gorman
The real issue was that an efi partition was not being created.  I did manual 
partitioning without carefully understanding UEFI boot.   This link proved to 
have useful information.
