[Bug 953959] Re: Ubiquity fails to install Grub in Precise if bios efi

[Phillip Susi]

It isn't wrongly identifying; your laptop is booting the cd in UEFI
mode.  You need to get it to boot the cd in bios mode if you don't want
to use UEFI.

Title:
  Ubiquity fails to install Grub in Precise if bios efi

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On my Lenovo B570e laptop with EFI BIOS, Ubiquity fails to install
  Grub. With the LiveUSB of Precise Pangolin 12.04, amd64, daily live of
  March, 12.

  However, when I *manually* install Grub from the terminal in the live
  session of Desktop CD, it does install fine. Then I can boot into
  Precise from the hard disk after all. This happens both in Ubuntu,
  Xubuntu and Lubuntu 12.04.

  I have attached both /var/log/syslog from the LiveUSB-session and a
  hardware list (output of lshw).
