noble-desktop-amd64.iso could not install PBR boot

[Seiichi Nakashima]

Dear EveryOne.

I'm testing noble (ubuntu-24.04 pre).
The ubuntu installer has changed, and if the partition is msdos, only MBR is used.
Up to 22.04, I was able to install it on PBR and multi-boot it.
Please support PBR boot in 24.04 as well.

A major bootloader fix landed a few hours ago so please try the 20240307 image (when it exists).

I tested new iso.
but it can not instal boot-loader to PBR too.
Please support PBR boot in 24.04 as well.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

The new fixed ISO (20240307 or later) doesn't exist yet, so please wait for one to test.

I download iso file (2024-03-11).
but it cannot install PBR, MBR only.
installer can not select sda1, sdb1, or sdc1 for PBR boot

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Sounds like a GUI problem then. Sorry for the tangent.

ubuntu-desktop-installer is deprecated in 24.04 in favor of ubuntu-desktop-provision. This was 24.04 as clearly stated by the reporter.

[Seiichi Nakashima (ubuntu-linuxer)]

I do not know ubuntu-desktop-provision.
How do I use it?
I use Install Ubuntu icon.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Yes it's confusing. That's just the name of the project where we track 24.04 installer bugs now.

[Seiichi Nakashima (ubuntu-linuxer)]

I think this is a degradation, but will it not be fixed?
