    Jammy Live installer not producing booting gpt partition table / EFI
    partition hard drive installations (#1962470)

    Installation with manual partitions (EFI + XFS) on a wiped drive and gpt partition table still fails. (Partitions created with the Xubuntu installer.) Systems refuses to boot from the loaded HDD.

    Then only way I can get a Jammy Xubuntu desktop to boot from the drive is to manually set up a MSDOS partition table using Gparted, and a single XFS partition mounted as /

    A gpt partition table with EFI + XFS partition is solid working with Xubuntu 20.04.

    While using Gparted in the LiveDVD, I still get 1962467 error while inspecting the installer crated partitions on the gpt drive.

    At the end of the installation, when the Live DVD shuts down, the CD drive still ejects, with a blank screen. No text telling to press the anykey. Logged as 1962466.

    I call this a major step back in this next LTS release.
