[Bug 1871884] Re: "EFI system partition flag not set" - false pop-up
i'm seeing this bug in lubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso my disc has a prior install of kubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso: sda1: /boot/efi sda2: / i move all prior content in / into a subdirectory (/fk) leaving only /lost+found, /swapfile and /fk, launch "install Lubuntu 20.04 LTS", select manual partitioning, edit "/dev/sda1", select "/boot/efi", "bios- grub" is already ticked, i tick "boot", click "OK", edit "/dev/sda2", select "/", click "OK", click "Next", and see EFI system partition flag not set An EFI system partition is necessary to start Lubuntu. A partition was configured with mount point /boot/efi but its esp flag is not set. To set the flag, go back and edit the partition. You can continue without setting the flag but your system may fail to start. which as noted in the OP is entirely confusing and bogus. there's no "esp" flag available in the calamares gui. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871884 Title: "EFI system partition flag not set" - false pop-up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/1871884/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1871884] Re: "EFI system partition flag not set" - false pop-up
** Description changed: Hi there, 1. My existing Lubuntu setup had made the ESP partition to be msftdata instead of boot,esp. 2. When I select manual partitioning and then select an existing ESP (msftdata, not sure why its msftdata) and click Edit, then set (FAT32, /boot/efi, boot flag enabled) 3. Then I get a false popup (EFI system partition flag not set) 4. If I press OK and then continue, the installation works well.' + I think that this bug is really confusing and people are confused what to do as they have assinged an ESP but an ESP error popup. + I would suggest to make this fix available for 20.04 main release as it makes user confused. + Thanks ! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871884 Title: "EFI system partition flag not set" - false pop-up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/1871884/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
