> when booted in legacy (BIOS) mode there is no way to detect if machine is in fact UEFI capable.
I know that, but I am giving you: - a way to detect a case where there are very high chances that the install is UEFI. - a way to warn the user (and still giving him choice in case the boot is in fact Legacy) thus avoid many failed Ubuntu installs. > Please don't fork bugs without context. This bug is not duplicate of "Ubuntu i386 images are not compatible with 32-bit UEFI computers. ", because it affects 64-bit computers. > Also note that for 13.10 release we are planning to promote 64-bit images by default. Hopefully ! that decreases chances to see this bug, but that does not fix it. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1025555 Ubuntu i386 images are not compatible with 32-bit UEFI computers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1228737 Title: Ubiquity does not recommend to use 64-bit disk when ESP exists To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1228737/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
