[Bug 1650822] [NEW] Failed while trying Install onto 8, 1 Apple Macbook Pro

[TBerk]

Public bug reported:


It is likely a problem with the Partition Type (MSDOS) rather than GPT (for use with EUFI). I am retrying the Install of Ubuntu Studio 16.10, from a LiveUSB drive, and using a hardwired Internet connection, after having wiped the Macbook's Hard Drive and created a new mapping w/ GPT. 

Ultimately I shall try to create a dual boot situation with MacOS and
Ubuntu Studio.
