[Bug 1447256] Re: "Force UEFI" dialog displayed if user selects custom partitioning

[Simos Xenitellis]

Workaround #1: 
Create partition table using "gparted". 
Create one 200MB partition with filesystem FAT32. Then click Appy so that "gparted" applies the change.
Then, change the flag of the partition (right-click on partition, then Manage Flags) in order to add the "efi" flag.
Save and exit. 
It should be possible to using the installer (ubiquity) and complete the installation.

Workaround #2: 
Do not use the "Something else" option in the installer.

  During installation on a blank disk on a UEFI system, if the user
  creates a custom partition, the installer displays the 'Force UEFI'
  dialog (screenshot) while there is no pre-installed system. This
  dialog is not displayed if the custom partitioner is not used.
