Thanks for responding. Yes, it warned me that I already had another operating system installed that "might" not boot if I proceeded to install in this way. Since I was wiping the disk clean, I assumed this wasn't an issue. It didn't tell me that the "current" install wouldn't work even if I erased the old operating system and reformatted/repartitioned the hard drive. In any case, I did as you suggested, choosing the "use entire disk" option and letting the installer do everything automatically.
It would be nice if there were an option when you get that warning to have the installer do what you're suggesting--set up the EFI system that one assumes is automatically getting set up when one boots in EFI mode and chooses to repartition the disk. Not being an expert, I'm not sure how I could have successfully done my own partitioning within the installer and had it work. Maybe I should have just gone with bios mode, but I vaguely recall something not working with that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1586717 Title: Grub will not install during fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04, installer crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1586717/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
