[Bug 1743706] Re: Ubuntu won't be installed after many attempts

[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.

  Ubuntu won't be installed after many attempts

  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi
  As I'm new to Linux, I have tried to install Ubuntu many times, but every time I have faced with a new error message or a misbehaviour.
  Last time that I tried, everything went well, OS was installed, but after reboot when the bootable-usb was mounted, it took me to the installation page (Try Ubuntu, Install Ubuntu, OEM installation & disk check-up) AND when usb was unmounted, it took me to a black screen, seems a command page with no title and no ability to type down anything, though there was a cursor blinking.
  This attempt I have made new partiotions, a root "/" , swap area and home "/home" and have chosen to install bootloader on its default value (my disk name indeed). And during installation I have faced with "GRUB installation failed" message that took me to this page to write it in forum.

  I'd appreciate any help as I have few information around Linux. I'd
  ask you to provide me information about which partitions I need to
  make during installation and how much of space each (previously it was
  8GB swap, 80GB root and the rest as home).

  To be noted, I have had Win. 10 installed on drive C, and had two
  other drives as data which I want to be conserved, so I have tried all
  these by formatting drive C in partition stage of Ubuntu installation.
  That's because on windows I had disk problems which made me to install
  new OS.

  Thanks for your help
