Title:
Failed to create a partition table - install failed
To manage
Had same issue on creating partition table during Lubuntu 2020.04 LTS
installation.
Worked it around by opening terminal from the live cd and zeroing the first MB
of /dev/sda disk in my case:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=2048 oflag=direct
conv=fsync
After zeroing, re-running

Title:
BTW if you do get the problem where you have only manual partition
options, there's two possible explanations:
1. An existing partition has a swap on it. Ubuntu has a "feature" where it
automounts them.
2. The partition is somehow mounted, which can happen if you've run Cala and
then
Also tested wxl´s theory on entering "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/udevadm
/sbin/udevadm" before starting the install.
This worked fine and allowed me to use "Erase disk" as expected confirming
guiverc's earlier testing.
Tested on Dell Inspirion 3521 laptop.

Did several test on virtual machines and had similar results as Chris.
What I noted was that if the virtual machine had a disk with an OS on it
--"Erase disk" failed.
Creating new clean virtual disk - "erase disk" worked as it should.
I then tried the same tests on my Dell Inspiron (not in
Nothing new, but I zsync'd latest ISO & did QA-test install on

and this bug occurred again, but it's the only box I've had this issue with
(not that I do full-disk installs on many boxes).
Using KDE Partition
Tested 2 more machines many times and always get same results on both of them.
Old Dell Inspiron 3521 - erase disk always fails (SDA)
New Intel NUC8i3BEK with M2.SSD disk - erase disk always fails - replace

Ran 2 tests today in VirtualBox -in the first machine I had a SATA Virtual disk
and could select "erase disk" which I selected and the install failed. Next I
selected "replace a partition" and all went well.
On the second virtual machine I used an IDE virtual disk and the "erase disk"
option
I tested this HEAVILY yesterday and found that I could not reproduce it
as regularly as I thought. It's not 100%. That said, if you get a
successful install, keep trying under the same conditions and I bet you
will eventually get a fail.

Turns out the os-prober thing was a red herring, too. It seems to reduce
the frequency of failure but still a possibility. Now I'm totally at a
loss.

Scratch that. I just got it to fail again but immediately tried to
reproduce and couldn't. Looks like it is a race condition after all. I'm
going to spend the rest of the say just doing the fix I mentioned on

Leó (and anyone else watching) since you're not on our Phabricator I
couldn't tag you in but upstream believes the issue to be the way we
call Calamares. I'm skeptical but you can test as described there
