This bug's title is misleading. The BIOS Boot Partition is required (or at least recommended), as the partition's name suggests, on *BIOS-based* systems. On UEFI-based systems, this partition is NOT required.
The bug reported seems to be that a proper installation of grub-efi (GRUB for EFI/UEFI systems) is being replaced by an improper installation of grub-pc (GRUB for BIOS systems) when GRUB is updated. Since grub-pc tries to install to a BIOS Boot Partition on GPT disks, it generates the reported error message, but that message is misleading. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820723 Title: Installer creates no BIOS boot partition on UEFI system, system becomes unbootable after automatic update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/820723/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
