No I've not had this issue occur on another box. It only very rarely occurs on this box anyway (I don't know how to query http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/api to download all my tests so I can search there to get some accurate stats, no reply on ubu forums requests for help) It's my belief this is still the race condition of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/1851188 that never left.. just rarely shows itself..

I have just completed three QA-installs (groovy daily, 2020-07-24) on hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290) recorded at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/414/builds/217793/testcases/1701/results Only the first install failed with this issue. First install had whatever prior installs I had on box, which included (I think) 3 partitions, original (full disk) install, followed by two install.alongside (or install.alongside + manual.partitioning). To get around issue, I used `sudo -E calamares -d` and install worked. The subsequent installs were full disk over a simpler layout (single partition though 2x encrypted partitions) and worked flawlessly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877733 Title: Lubuntu 20.10 calamares "failed to create a partition table" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/1877733/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is a ~exact re-run of the QA-test that was used for led to the creation of this bug report. I booted same box, changed screens to match my setup (right display is portrait-left tilted) as done last test Then opened terminal and ran `sudo -E calamares -d` INSTEAD of clicking install icon on desktop FYI: Calamares will show being loaded twice; this was my error, as opened at terminal first time, it displayed on my portrait-left tilted display and was unusable (buttons were off screen), I was unable to move window to other display so exited This behavior has been noted before, maybe requires bug report, but I'm ignoring that currently... Mentioned here only to explain why calamares was run twice in log (opened both times with same command) With the run of `calamares -d` instead, the install was flawless (I haven't rebooted & tested yet, but I'm betting it is).
