Update, my last 'successful' install failed because it looks like gparted did not completely nuke the drive and the installation did not boot up after it completed. At boot, I got the Busybox screen with no clear errors. When I pulled up the drive in Ubuntu live cd, the partitions were very odd sda1, sda2, sda5, sda6, sda7 and no sda3, or sda4. I used 'disks' utility to wipe all partitions and used `df` to verify that there were no partitions left on the disk and am now trying 20.04.1 install again...
This is another failure mode of Ubuntu installer not really wiping the drive before before starting install; a 'successful' installation that does not boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1908435 Title: Ubuntu Installation Failure With Formatted Disk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1908435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
