[12:30] <akik> hi, i created this bug report about a month ago but no one except guiverc has commented on it except myself: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/2031267
[12:30] <akik> although i think it's not just a ubuntu mate issue
[12:32] <guiverc> the issue is possibly with grub-installer (not ubiquity)
[12:33] <akik> the thing is that the installer mounts the efi esp from the ssd
[12:33] <akik> and not from the usb stick
[12:35] <guiverc> the only time I've had issues with grub-installer is when the ISO was reformatted & thus non-standard on USB drive; which caused the issue.. when written correctly (as per Ubuntu docs) I've not had any issues thus cannot help (outside of checking how ISO was written to media if using software that can reformat ISO)
[12:35] <akik> debian has this same problem
[12:35] <guiverc> there are a few bugs on grub-installer (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer) but I don't know enough about that/it, thus didn't change package away from `ubiquity` you filed against
[12:36] <akik> i can try installing debian on a usb stick later today and verify if it's still an issue
[12:36] <guiverc> (and debian doesn't use `ubiquity`, but di or calamares (depending on ISO)..; Ubuntu Studio 22.04 uses calamares)
