[Bug 1924823] Re: Ubiquity Ubuntu 21.04 install fail on legacy bios

2021-04-17 Thread Julian Andres Klode 
So what happens is that partman automatically discovers the ESP on the
USB stick, and configures it as EFI system partition (you can see it
says efi in the line). You have to go to the partition and tell it to
not use it.

Not sure what the right fix is. Cheap hack would be to only include EFI
system partitions that are big enough, which would have the side effect
of fixing this 5MB partition issue.

Hmm I did not get the warning message about missing ESP when booting the
ISO as an usb stick instead of a CD. This is odd.

2021-04-17 Thread Julian Andres Klode 
You must have accidentally mounted something into (/target)/boot/efi, as
otherwise the code does not trigger anymore. It seems likely you did
infact mount a removable ESP into it.

Note:  on 1923134 I did the following

ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ df -h |grep target
/dev/sda1 658G 328G 297G 53% /target
/dev/sdb2 4.9M 4.9M 2.0K 100% /target/boot/efi

so it looks like grub is being written to the installation media (not
sda) as per pasted messages from ubiquity syslog

  Basically installation fail when the installer doesn't find an EFI (ESR) 
partition on computers with legacy BIOS.

  Ubiquity package (21.04.15) which, as reported here:

  should have fixed the issue.
