Public bug reported:
Now I very meticulously cleaned the hard drive with gparted, created a GPT
partition table, created a FAT32 partition of 500MB and set both ESP and BOOT
flags, and then created the rest of the partitions I wanted, including a SWAP.
I then chose "Do something else" and there the ESP partition was clearly
visible and would be used. After I declared all the other partitions, the
installations process __AGAIN__ gave me the old stubborn error "the
grub-efi-amd64 package failed to install into /target/".
The computer I'm trying to install is a HP elite 8200 with and I5-2500 and a
500Gb hd.
I couldn't find anything in the BIOS settings that would indicate that is was
set to legacy mode BIOS so I presume that it is running in UEFI mode.
If you need further information, don't hesitate to mail me about it.
A final note:
After using Linux for many years now, I really got to love and respect it very
much, and I don't even want to think of what life would be without it!!!
I hope that you on Canonical also love and respect this wonderful gift that
Linus Torwalds left us with - to make us free and powerful computer users. I
really hope that you would __FIX__ this error once and for all (as it really
did work in the previous versions) and release it as a new 18.04 LTS version.
Kindest regards
Gunnar
