Public bug reported:
On an almost 300 Gb HDD, the 1st ~230 Gb was non-*nix and the rest were
old *nixes. I booted on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS non-installing to partition the
drive, deleting the *nixes, stretching the non-*nix (keeping the
beginning to 0). I tried installing (18.04 LTS) which required me to do
steps with the free/unallocated space (I was hoping the installer would
use that and make all the steps on it), so I made the swap 2 X RAM
(size) then made the remaining ~35 Gb ext4 / (root) and the "Format?"
checkbox was present for the only ext4 row/partition. It failed giving
me the error which beginning is this bug summary which full content is
in the attached screenshot.
On the same setting, not having rebooted (thus booted on Ubuntu 18.04
LTS non-installing on the system which main drive is the almost 300 Gb
HDD), I tried installing again, using the top-left icon labelled
"Install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS" and kept the previous options up to the 5th,
of 7, option, labelled "Installation type", in which I chose the 1st
option Reinstall Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with description "Documents... will be
kept. Installed software will be kept where possible. System-wide
settings will be cleared." which ended up with the same or quite similar
error.
I'll soon restart the system, hopefully it'll be able to boot on the
previous non-*nix I worked on > 99% time (on that system).
