Public bug reported:
Xubuntu groovy/20.10 qa-test install on
hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)
install was "install alongside" (existing was a prior ubuntu-studio qa-test
install)
drive is 80gb internal, I moved slider so 5/8ths was studio, 3/8ths for new
xubuntu
** What happened
During install a message appeared
"Sorry, an error occurred and it was not possible to install the
bootloader at the specified location."
I selected SDA again & error again repeated. No other option (sda1 etc)
seemed to apply so I aborted install & reported error (it failed to
report anything, but `ubuntu-bug` is having issues so this was filed on
another box; and I'll apport-collect shortly on actual box)
** Expected outcome
It wouldn't ask the question, or install to /dev/sda (there is only a single
drive to install to)
--
Further Notes: If ubiquity log is larger than just one install, I attempted
first time with an external drive connected, but was unable to complete test as
it wouldn't let me select internal drive. I exited `ubiquity` and tried
ejecting drive, when that failed I just pulled power cable of external drive,
made a few checks & it appeared removed & no issues on system, so I restarted
`ubiquity` using desktop icon. This run only appeared to see internal drive so
I didn't expect issues.
