A discussion on IRC with alksig mentioned this bug report yesterday, so I tested for it
Ubuntu-MATE jammy ISO (20220715; ie. daily of 22.04.1) install to
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)
Manual partitioning, select the one partition that was created yesterday by a Lubuntu jammy (daily) install; ie. /dev/sda1 for /; WITH format. ie. box has no ESP or efi system partition
Result is clean install; reboot & all looks good.
No issues with this issue.
YES there was a warning (during installation; yesterday with Lubuntu too), but that has been there for some time, I know and expect it; and know this box from 2005 will not be impacted thus it doesn't worry me.
I'm aware some install circumstances do NOT cause the warning to show, others (& most) do; but to me at least, it's not an issue. I'd expect most users will know if it applies, or given this box is old & pre-dates EFI box it doesn't. Further the drive could be moved post-install to another box where it IS an issue; the warning covers that too (I see many people in support do this; and I've seen it done in real life too). I have no issue with the warning.
