What options did you select on the prior screen?

encryptblockr

I chose custom storage layout

and then

encryptblockr

or should i select

and then

is this the way to go?

Yes, I would use the last option you posted. I found this post, which is similar to your situation.

encryptblockr

yeah am not sure how setting up disk partitioning on ubuntu is becoming rocket science now

ok will try the last option to use entire disk with the 2 partitions autogenerated

Ubuntu use EFI boot , now.
So BIOS grub partition is for redirect.
If your VM is with EFI enable you must have EFI partition and then Ubuntu partition.

So you have two options:

BIOS mode
- first partition BIOS grub
- second, System partition
EFI mode
- first partition EFI, fat32
- second, System partition

@Gheppy

from screenshot you can see it is BIOS

so is screenshot above ok to use?

Gheppy

yes it is ok, swap will be a file on root partition if is not on a dedicate partition

For me is more like this with partitions:

EFI, 50Mb
root, rest of space
swap 2Gb

encryptblockr

@Gheppy

can you share screenshot? or anything to see the setup

Gheppy

this is an EFI boot for 50Gb hdd

EFI
root
swap

final
