Thanks @irihapeti/Jane I booted up my 'secondary' PC; an old 2008 optiplex that is BIOS only, its last plucky install was made with 2025-04-07 ISO, and I had no issues then.
That is a single partition install (only `/`) but there are other partitions ignored during install (currently oracular, noble & a debian trixie). I select the prior install in `calamares` (same release; though it was a jammy install when I first installed plucky) DO NOT FORMAT the partition (ie. re-use) so my data survives. I wonder if the problem is very new my point; a recent change? I can provide more details about my d780 install if helpful for exploration; last install without issue there was less than two weeks back. --- Grub did get installed too; that box is still booting up offering plucky as default.. where normally I boot Debian/trixie & run a `grub-install` from there which makes Debian default... Debian grub owned boot process prior to last Lubuntu plucky re-install using 0407 ISO -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2107555 Title: Manual partitioning fails on BIOS installs for Calamares-based flavors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/2107555/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
