Public bug reported:
OS: Lubuntu Questing Beta release candidate
Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot the ISO on a BIOS system.
2. Click "Install Lubuntu".
3. Proceed through the installer until you get to the "Partitions" screen.
4. On the Partitions screen, select manual partitioning, then click Next.
5. Create a new MBR partition table.
6. Assign 10 GB of the disk to an ext4 `/` partition, and enable the boot flag
on it.
7. Assign the rest of the disk to a BTRFS `/home` partition.
8. Proceed through the rest of the installation wizard, do NOT adjust the
bootloader installation path, leave it as the default.
9. Attempt to boot into the newly installed system.
Expected result: Installed system should be bootable.
Actual result: Installed system is not bootable.
Upon further investigation, it looks like the reason for this is that
Calamares is losing track of the path to install the bootloader to. This
can be seen in the log at `/root/.cache/calamares/session.log`. A
workaround is to select some bootloader installation location other than
the default when setting up manual partitioning, then re-select the
original location. Calamares will properly install the bootloader when
this is done.
This probably won't be too difficult, but it will require a patch to the
Calamares code most likely.
