[Bug 1942955] Re: Ubuntu MATE 20.04.3 installer crashed

[Robert Pearson]

The UEFI System Partition UUID: FD2AEA73-FC80-4871-A55A-B61F0ABA40A3
Flags: boot

I found this Example of an EFI system partition as shown by KDE
Partition Manager (NOT gparted, DISKS, or the Ubuntu installer).

Title:
  Ubuntu MATE 20.04.3 installer crashed

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Where to start. Apparently the .iso (ubuntu-mate-20.04.3-desktop-
  amd64.iso) assumes every computer runs Windows and has small disks (2
  TB or smaller). The "Disk Image Writer" formats the jump drive as MBR
  with a bootable partition, a EFI partition for Windows compatibility
  and the rest of the drive (59GB) as unusable.

  I purchased a 1TB WD Blue SATA SSD and tried to install in it. The
  first five times failed. The drive was initially blank and the
  installer disabled the Install button. I used 18.04 to create the GUID
  partition table and create the UEFI System Partition, the Ubuntu MATE
  partition, the Linux swap partition, and a NTFS data partition.

  I was at least able to start the installation. Then the installer
  crashed.
