It's on distrowatch.com news page.
Been trying to install Kubuntu 21.04 just to see what's new, and it's been giving me
failed to install grub on dev/sda or something and it's fatal error.
It's something to do with UEFI boot system I think.
I'm not asking for tech help here, I'm just trying to understand the theory behind this.
I have not had this problem before in previous Ubuntu non LTS releases.
Thing is I have existing partitions (3 Linuxes, Windows) on legacy boot, why in Neptune would I change to EFI just to accommodate one system on EFI?
I don't get it.

Re: Ubuntu 21.04
You talkin' about this:
Yep, that be a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1893964
But in Ubuntu 21.04 it isn't catastrophic if you just hit Continue. It will install with grub and everything works despite the warning.
I installed Kubuntu 21.04 in a VBox - non UEFI guest - and unlike in Ubuntu you will get two more successive warnings that all hell will break loose if you continue but eventually I ended up OK:
Nothing funny looking ( other than KDE itself ) in the rebooted system or in fstab.
Having said all that and given you have 4 other operating systems on your box I wouldn't install it on a drunken bet.

Please add a [SOLVED] at the end of your original subject header if your question has been answered and solved.

Very annoying bug but gotta deal with it.altair4 wrote: ⤴Sat Apr 24, 2021 1:49 pm Yep, that be a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/189396
I tried it, didn't like it.
I wish Ubuntu would move away from snap but that won't happen.
