[Bug 1418706] Re: Vivid: UEFI: blank drive incorrectly detected as existing BIOS-mode install

[Jason Gerard DeRose]

ah, gotcha, that makes sense. i did cross my mind that perhaps it was
looking at the wrong block device when deciding that an existing BIOS-
mode install was present.

for what it's worth, this is a very recent regression. I did a
successful UEFI-mode install using the Vivid daily ISO from about a week
ago.

i'll try today's daily ISO shortly, see if this is still present.

Title:
  Vivid: UEFI: blank drive incorrectly detected as existing BIOS-mode
  install

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When doing a UEFI-mode install using the latest daily Vivid ISO (Thu
  Feb 5), Ubiquity incorrectly concludes that a blank drive contains an
  existing BIOS-mode install (see error in attached screenshot).

  The resulting error dialog is also broken: none of the buttons do any
  thing when clicked: X (close button), "Go Back", "Continue".

  You can seemingly move the install forward by clicking "Continue" in
  the main installer window, but things are still broken somewhere as
  grub isn't getting correctly installed (system is unbootable after the
  install completes).
