Issue encountered during the setup of Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS onto an external storage device
I attempted to set up Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS on an external hard drive. After downloading the ISO from the official site and saving it to an 8GB USB flash drive, I followed these steps: 1. Restarted the computer and selected the USB drive with the ISO. 2. Tried Ubuntu and launched the desktop. 3. Clicked on the install button for Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS. 4. The system prompted an automatic update and allowed third-party software. 5. Noted there were two partitions: a 6GB swap area and the rest of the drive. 6. Decided to install the drive on the external hard drive and pressed the install button. 7. Waited, during which a message kept appearing: "grub-efi-amd64-signed failed installation /target/ Ubuntu 16.04". I’m unsure what’s causing the issue and need guidance. Anyone could assist, especially with DiskGenius partitioning or troubleshooting the installation. # help needed
still not figure why the error still appeare, I create a new partition in format of fat32 and edit its flag as boot, and a space in linux-swap of 6GB, also a partition of all left space as ext4. What should I do to install then. I chose the ext4 as "/" , linux-swap as swap, and do nothing about the boot fat32 space, then I press install, I chose to install at my external hard drive, then error again many time, I have been try for many time. Is there any setting I should be follow or something I missed. Please Help, I have no idea what the passage on internet talking about.
Manual partitioning is often preferred because it gives you control over specific areas like swap space and the boot directory. You typically need to set up swap formatting and choose the /boot location for the kernel. The root folder, /home, is useful for separating personal files from system data.
You should use GParted for these tasks. Follow the guidelines it provides—there are specific steps and rules to adhere to.
In the installer you can set up the necessary partitions. Just create them, assign space as needed, and it should work. Refer to the link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/343268/h...stallation
