Manual workaround for those who are affected: 1. Start Ubiquity by running 'ubiquity -b' (doesn't install grub and will not trigger this bug) 2. After installation is completed, don't reboot and install grub manually with the following commands in a terminal (assuming your have installed Ubuntu to /dev/sda1, change accordingly):
sudo mkdir uroot sudo mount /dev/sda1 uroot sudo mount -o bind /dev uroot/dev sudo mount -o bind /sys uroot/sys sudo mount -t proc /proc uroot/proc sudo chroot uroot grub-install /dev/sda1 update-grub exit sudo umount uroot/proc sudo umount uroot/sys sudo umount uroot/dev sudo umount uroot 3. Then reboot, new installation should boot up fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893964 Title: Installation of Ubuntu Groovy with manual partitioning without an EFI System Partition fails on 'grub-install /dev/sda' even on non-UEFI systems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1893964/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
