[Bug 1912694] Re: executing 'grub-install/dev/sda5' failed

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

Bug reporting is about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future
users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg.
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your
problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community
http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or
https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

(the MBR or master boot record is by definition the first sector on a
drive, sda5 refers to a partition which doesn't have a MBR as the MBR
relates to the drive/device itself)

I'm marking this incomplete, as it seems like it's misunderstanding on
the user's behalf, and thus support would be of greater benefit, and not
a bug. If you believe I'm in error, please leave a message explaining
why, or what I missed, and change the status back to "New".

Thank you again, for helping make Ubuntu better.

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Package changed: ubiquity (Ubuntu) => grub-installer (Ubuntu)
