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:

1. BIOS mode
   • first partition BIOS grub
   • second, System partition
2. 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

@Gheppy

can you share screenshot? or anything to see the setup

[Gheppy]

this is an EFI boot for 50Gb hdd

1. EFI
   

2. root
   

3. swap
   

final
