attempted install again to - dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 5000/6000/7350/8350)
identical install to sda1; but ISO written this time with `sudo dd bs=4M oflag=sync status=progress of=/dev/sdb if=/de2900/ubuntu_64/hirsute- desktop-amd64.iso` https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1923690 I wondering if my last comment was missing the /target/boot/efi reason for mount; is it trying to copy from there?? and not to there... it's clear during install the partition is /dev/sda and boot loader was being written to sda on the dialog screens --messages-- Apr 14 01:33:23 ubuntu grub-installer: info: Running chroot /target grub-install --force --target x86_64-efi "/dev/sda" Apr 14 01:33:23 ubuntu grub-installer: Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
