Looking at the recent comments, I think you are taking this to the wrong direction. There is no point in discussing a workaround for this bug, because even knowledgeable users who know how to apply those workarounds won't know that they even need to look for a workaround before it is too late.
The installer is lying to the end-user, giving it a choice and then ignoring it, while severely harming the system. I think this bug should be critical, not medium (as its duplicate, bug 1173457). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1396379 Title: installer uses first EFI system partition found even when directed otherwise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1396379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
