Yesterday, I repeated a fresh install with the daily build of yesterday. The problem is still there: Ubiquity installs Ubuntu fine, and installs Grub as well. Only... it wrongly identifies the BIOS as EFI, so it installs the Grub EFI packages.
Which makes the laptop unbootable, because it's an ordinary BIOS and no EFI at all. Repair is easy: boot from the LiveCD and install the ordinary Grub by hand. sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda Then there's no problem anymore: Ubuntu boots fine and all is well with the world.... :-) Is there any chance of the erroneous EFI detection being fixed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/953959 Title: Ubiquity fails to install Grub in Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/953959/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
