[Bug 1615995] Re: Ubiquity fails to install grub in UEFI mode when additional FAT32 partition is created in custom partitioning step

[Phillip Susi]

It *did* display a warning message asking you to perform a bios mode
install instead, and you said to continue in uefi mode.

Title:
  Ubiquity fails to install grub in UEFI mode when additional FAT32
  partition is created in custom partitioning step

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Ubiquity fails to install grub in UEFI mode when additional FAT32
  partition is created in custom partitioning step

  I'm pasting my GPT partition table from cfdisk (disk was without
  partitions before installation, I've created these partitions in
  Ubiquity):

   Device               Start          End      Sectors      Size Type
    Free space            2048         2048            0        0B                        
    /dev/sda1             2048     66406399     66404352     31,7G Microsoft basic data
    /dev/sda2         66406400     74409983      8003584      3,8G Linux swap
    /dev/sda3         74409984    312580095    238170112    113,6G Linux filesystem

  I think problem is because I've not created EFI System Partition in
  partitioning step, but Ubiquity should display a warning message in
  such case.
