[Bug 1780015] Re: Installer gparted creates 2 BIOS boot partition

2018-10-15 Thread Robert Pearson
I did NOT boot in BIOS mode. The 1 MB partition was flagged as the bios_grub partition. The installer created the second 1 MB partition because it is full of bogs. This is NOT a case of operator error. This is a report of bugs in the software. Please turn it over to someone who is willing to actua

Your original description says that you created one partition, then the installer created the other. You probably didn't create the first one correctly so it wasn't actually a bios_grub partition, so the installer created one. If you don't want to boot in bios mode, then you don't need a bios_gru

Fred, The installed creates the bios_grub partition when you boot in UEFI mode. Phillip, Yes. 2! It creates one for the bios_grug and then a second one. That is the bug. I did not ask for it and I cannot delete it. Robert On Fri, Aug 3, 2018 at 3:11 PM, Phillip Susi wrote: > What? You only ne

Allow me to rephrase my bug report. I NEVER want to boot in BIOS mode. But the installer includes 1 MB bios_grub partition anyway. The bug is that it also creates a second (2) 1 MB partition with absolutely no use. That is the bug I'm trying to point out. -- You received this bug notification b

Why? If the drive is larger than 2 TB it is not supported by BIOS mode. Why must I reserve 2 (count them 2) 1 MB partitions if I am never going to boot in legacy mode? This is exactly the lack of thinking I am trying to get fixed! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

It isn't clear what you are trying to report. The installer *does* support installing in UEFI mode using GPT on > 2TB disks. You need a 1 mb bios_grub partition to boot in BIOS mode on a GPT partitioned disk. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received t
