(Get the code!)
HP 15 (ac-101ur model, just in case) laptop owner here. Booted Ubuntu Groovy thumb drive using Legacy method, *no* UEFI whatsoever.
When I first tried to install Ubuntu, replacing Windows (as I now own a new laptop), Ubiquity yelled "No UEFI partition found" - this bug didn't occur in earlier versions of Ubuntu (Bionic and Disco, as tested)
When I *manually* converted hard drive's partition table to 'msdos' in GParted, and trying to manually partition the system, I also get the same "No UEFI partition found" error.
After discarding this error, installation decided to fail at "grub-install" failed. When I looked at the installation console, I did not actually see any bad signs of GRUB failure at all - it just said "Installation complete without error" and installer decided to fail. I don't currently have logs
I am in process of testing workaround posted in Comment #8 and Comment #9. I'll update this comment (or create a new one) if something useful happens.
Thanks.
