Failed to install GRUB in the location specified in UM 15.04 Beta 1

I was installing Ubuntu MATE Beta 1 and then prompted with a GRUB related bug. GRUB couldn’t install in the specified location. I tried several times but failed.

Hi,

were you trying to install Grub to the first HDD boot sector (/dev/sda/ in Linux), or are you trying to install it to an external medium/drive?.

There is a bug on Launchpad about this. It is fixed in the daily images but because of the recent Xorg upgrade the daily images are completely borked right now :cry:

I was trying to install it in the first HDD boot factor as in /dev/sda

No prob. I’ll wait for the final release. Best wishes :smile:

I experienced the same grub issue installing mate 15.04. Kubuntu 15.04 installed just fine. Is it possible to get a hint when the Daily images are fixed, please? Would love to try out the latest and greatest!

Daily images are working again. Please test.

Will do. Thanks, Martin. :smiley:
