Bug Description

I am very new at Ubuntu. I installed a few years ago but did not get good at it. The newer versions look and feel much better. I need to learn the command line interface.

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.
