[Bug 1782463] Re: Mate 18.04 64 grub update fails to write to g2G 1st partition on 4T drives

[Phillip Susi]

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted
the installer in EFI mode. You either need to boot the installer in bios
mode, 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.

  drives

Bug description:
  Trying to install Bionic Beaver Mate 64AMD to a couple 4T disks with
  32G Ext4 partition mounted at / and with a 4G swap partition and an
  extra 3.9T Ext4 partition that takes all but 30G of the rest of the

  various other "drives" successfully.
