Public bug reported:
Trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 from live USB over previous distro
(OpenSUSE Tumbleweed), but ubiquity installer crashes with above error
at start of partitioning (but after re-writing partition table?).
I am unable to close the error dialog, and have access to the mouse, but
cannot close applications or shutdown from GUI. Switching to terminal
(Ctrl-Alt-F2) and running `top` to find the PID for `ubiquity`, then
killing this process gives me access to my GUI with Ubiquity closed.
I initially tried to preserve my existing `/home` partition, and was no
longer able to boot from the hard disk, but booting from the USB I could
still mount the original partition. Tried again, but this time asking
to erase the entire disk and install with LVM support, but I got the
same error, but no longer have access to my `/home` partition.
