Ubiquity installer installed the bootloader in the wrong SSD

Open Milli189 opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

So the default installer of AnduinOS is called Ubiquity, which was the old installer that Ubuntu used, and it has a longtime issue where it will install the bootloader on a random disk if you have more than one, so now I've installed AnduinOS on an external ssd, but Ubiquity installed the bootloader inside of my primary SSD.

This is a HUGE issue and the only solution is to change the installer, ubuntu has changed it since Ubuntu 23.10.

So the solution is to use either the new Ubuntu Installer, or Calamares, and both of them are extremely good.

but yeah it has to be changed because this is a very bad issue.

Also ubiquity has been deprecated by Ubuntu, while the new Ubuntu installer and Calamares are actively maintained.

We alread planned to refactor the installer with our own instead of Ubuntu's.

Please expect AnduinOS 2.0

By the way, how can we repro this issue? Any link attached to Ubuntu bug?

And, isn't this issue in the grub2-common: /usr/sbin/grub-install?

the way you reproduce this issue is to just install AnduinOS on a pc with more than one drive and that's it.
