[Bug 1717905] Re: Lubuntu fresh install on existing partition layout

[Phillip Susi]

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted
the installer in EFI mode. A warning message prompted you that this
could be a problem and recommended performing a bios mode install
instead, but you chose not to. You either need to perform the bios mode
install, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system
partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you
choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.

Title:
  Lubuntu fresh install on existing partition layout

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Intention: Dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu

  Partition Layout:

  1. LVM of 250 GiB on mount point / with ext4, 
  2. LVM SWAP of 12 GiB, 
  3. Primary ext4 partition on mount point /boot of 48 GiB
  4. Set mount point of /boot/efi on existing Windows 10 boot partition marked System_Reserved

  Scenario:

  1. One warning was reported during setup: Use of UEFI boot instead of Legacy; I chose to ignore.
  2. Partition layout was already done via fdisk and gparted using GParted Live CD.
