[Bug 1767703] Re: Calling 'apt-install grub-efi-amd64-signed' failed

[Gil0224]

Hi

Just a precision for the installation of a Linux OS.

To use the UEFI mode, a "gpt" partition is needed to load the OS (not a
"mbr" formatted disk, compatible with the "BIOS-legacy" mode).

Here to find more information:
