** Description changed:
This should not be happening at all. Install fails with a grub-install
error; failing to find /dev/dm-0. Interestingly, I picked "Erase entire
disk", for a system (Dell Vostro V130) that was previously installed
with Xubuntu. Given that "Erase entire disk" should just wipe all
partitions and create new ones, none of which using LVM (because that
was not picked at all, neither LVM not LVM with crypto); it should not
be trying to use dm-0 at all.
There are other errors earlier on with ubiquity failing to properly
recognize the type of filesystem.
+
+ Test Case
+ 1. Install a system using LVM (not encryted) and proceed with the installation
+ 2. Install a second time on the same system but this time select "Erase
entire disk"
+
+ Expected result
+ Second installation is successful
+
+ Actual result
+ grub-installer fails because it tries to install grub on /dev/dm-0
