That's not the point; the system is also warning you that proceeding with the install is potentially breaking your setup if there is a pre- existing partition.
In the past Steve McIntyre changed the code to avoid having this message show up when dealing with a blank disk; plus further updates fixed false-positive issues. We're sufficiently up to date with Debian w.r.t partman-efi already. I think more than changing the text, we need to fix the logic to make absolutely sure it doesn't trigger on blank disks. As for non-blank disks, perhaps it would be best to fail to install in that case -- the system will surely not boot in UEFI mode, and other bits will fail (such as installing grub-efi). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1668148 Title: Warning message when installing in EFI mode to a BIOS disk is horribly confusing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-efi/+bug/1668148/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
