2021-04-20 11:25:10 Jeremie Tamburini summary Ubiquity 21.04.19 fails in 'install alongside' in extended partition Ubiquity 21.04.19 ends in 'error install grub' but Ubuntu get installed
2021-04-20 11:32:49 Jeremie Tamburini description Ubiquity 21.04.19 installed via apt on a previous iso daily-build as an iso with 21.04.19 at the moment is not available. DESCRIPTION: - Partition table: msdos (MBR) - /dev/sda1 with Ubuntu already installed - /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda3 both Ext4 Installation modality: Install Ubuntu 21.04 alongside... As 3 primary partition are already used, the installer is forced to use the remaining space creating an extended partition with logical partition inside: - /dev/sda5 ESP (EFI) - /dev/sda6 Ext4 for Ubuntu But EFI partition should be primary, not logical. Then grub-install fails.

Probably because of the recent changes on Ubiquity package. Anyway, the 'grub error' message can be tricky!
