Public bug reported:
Lubuntu 20.04 QA-test install on
dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550)
testcase: install with existing partition (sda8 is existing /home, sda9 will be
used for /)
Expected :
System has only a single HDD, so I'd expect to select my partitions from
hdd, and not have any options for /dev/fd0
Actual :
The systems seems to want to install to my 3.5" floppy ??
It's a 3.5" 1.44MB one too, but it's reporting ~1920GB??
Detail:
The floppy was only recently enabled in BIOS because of an ask.ubuntu
support request, so prior installs on this box wouldn't have seen the
FDD
I'll look at this when I can.. I'll provide pic & calamares log (haven't
exited or run install yet). The floppy could be corrupted & creating the
issue (it contains some word perfect files from 1994 only; and happened
to be left in drive from ask.ubu support use).
(( Also all play I did with floppy was in 18.04 system as that was what
OP on ask.ubu was using ))
