Pop!_OS 20.04 Intel x86_64 Unencrypted installation doesn't install boot loader correctly
Distribution: NAME="Pop!_OS" VERSION="20.04 LTS" ID=pop ID_LIKE="ubuntu debian" PRETTY_NAME="Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS" VERSION_ID="20.04" HOME_URL="https://system76.com/pop" SUPPORT_URL="http://support.system76.com" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues" PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://system76.com/privacy" VERSION_CODENAME=focal UBUNTU_CODENAME=focal LOGO=distributor-logo-pop-os
Issue/Bug Description: If I install Pop!_OS 20.04 with disk encryption, the installation completes normally, but if I do the same installation, but select to not encrypt the disk, the computer says no OS is installed, so I think there is something related to the installer, which is causing boot loader not to be correctly installed. It's an old Lenovo Yoga 500-14IBD, a 14" laptop, i5 5th generation with 8GB RAM and a normal 2.5" 256GB SSD and . No EFI, just regular BIOS. I did the process with all partitions deleted, used the default option to make a clean installation.
Steps to reproduce (if you know):
- I cleared every partitions, make sure only free space is shown in GParted.
- Selected Clean Installation and Erase and Install.
- Chose to not encrypt the disk, left everything else default.
- Restart computer
- With disk encrypted, I get the message to insert the encryption password, without encryption, I get a message to select which hard drive has the operating system.
Expected behavior: Install normally, but without encrypted disk.
Other Notes: I tried English and Portuguese installations, just to eliminate possibilities, like bugs related to encoding. Didn't make a difference.
