[Bug 1942955] Re: Ubuntu MATE 20.04.3 installer crashed
The UEFI System Partition UUID: FD2AEA73-FC80-4871-A55A-B61F0ABA40A3 Flags: boot I found this Example of an EFI system partition as shown by KDE Partition Manager (NOT gparted, DISKS, or the Ubuntu installer).

[Bug 1942955] Re: Ubuntu MATE 20.04.3 installer crashed
I-Cat I already have a "bootable USB drive". That is what I used to try and install Ubuntu MATE 20.04.3. That will not change the fact that the partition editor in gparted, Disks, and the installer do not have a UEFI bootable partition type in their options. The only option is BIOS bootable (yeah! lets all go back to the way it was done in 1998). I do not even know the GUID for the UEFI bootable partition type. For your questions about my system. Currently Ubuntu MATE 18.04. I tried later versions but each one broke code that works in 18.04. ASUS A88XM-A with 32 GB 1866 MHz DDR2 (4 Crucial DIMMs) AMD A8-7600 Radeon R7 running at 3.1 GHz 4TB Seagate Iron Wolf SATA HDD (this has Ubuntu MATE 18.04 installed for UEFI booting) (new) 1TB WD Blue SATA SSD (this is where I am attempting to install Ubuntu MATE 20.04.3 with UEFI booting) I copied the contents of the UEFI System Partition from the 4TB HHD to the UEFI System Partition on the 1TB SSD. I use HDMI to connect my computer to my Samsung SyncMate TA350 TV/Monitor. During installation, I noticed many missing firmware errors. I believe that they were not included because the iso file is for BIOS booting only. I need an iso intended for UEFI or BIOS booting. Any drive > 2TB ( 4TB drives are now about $75) requires GUID Partition Table and UEFI booting. New symptoms. No sound. I go to Control Center -> Sound -> Hardware and select "Built-in Audio 1 Output / 1 Input Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output. Test the speakers. Left and right pass. Profile: Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output. I click close. No sound. I reopen Sound -> Hardware and Ubuntu has reset it to (IEC958) output. Tried multiple times. Still no sount. Ran my Blu ray player through the monitor. Sound. 20.04.3 no sound. Rebooted to 18.04, Sound. How do I fix a broken installation when the iso and Installer are so bad? I would like to help improve the iso and Installer so they are up to 2021, not 1998. Who can I contact? Robert Pearson P.S.

I-Cat Now why would I want to install Python 2? Python is a dialect of C. It split into Python 2 for those determined to program in C and Python 3 for those who want to "play/pretend" they are doing Object-Oriented programming or Functional programming. As the C-ites aged out, Python 2 died. Why resurrect it?

Re: [Bug 1942955] Re: Ubuntu MATE 20.04.3 installer crashed
After it crashed, I shut down the system and then restarted. Enough had been installed to boot and then I updated and reinstalled my apps. The reason the first partition is W95Fat32 is that the drive was originally blank (no partition table). The installer could not handle a blank drive. I know that the UEFI System Partition has to be a FAT file system, but neither gparted now Disks has a "Bootable" partition type. I do know that Disk Image Writer created Windows type media for small drives (MBR not GUID PT, EFI Compatibility Partition for the code that won't fit in the MBR). I believe that is because whoever created the iso does not believe in UEFI. When I boot, the ASUS A88MX-A firmware offers me a choice of UEFI or no UEFI. The UEFI choice does not work. The no UEFI choice does. I did have trouble with the Software Boutique. PlayOnLinux could not install because the version in the Boutique relies on Python 2 which has been discontinued instead of Python 3. VirtualBox could not install because the version in Ubuntu requires that Ubuntu MUST be installed with a CD and demands that the CD be inserted in /cdrom. I installed it from the Oracle site. I do thank you for responding. During the last 3 years, I have only gotten 4 responses. 1 really tried to help! I am still working on the issue. I would like to help improve the Ubuntu and Ubuntu MATE installer. I am a Unix System V expert, not Ubuntu. But at least I can help move from BIOS booting (pre 1998) to UEFI booting. And the limited "Something else" can be updated using gparted and Disks - and bootable partition type can be added with the correct GUID. Again. Thank you for responding.
