I booted the Lubuntu 18.04.4 ISO on live, and couldn't see any issues. I used `gparted` to firstly delete the sda9 partition, clicked apply. Next I created a new ext4 partition using the space without issue & rebooted
Re-ran Lubuntu 20.04 using new daily and Manual partitioning again - sda9 set for system (no format; but empty) - sda8 set for /home (no format, old non-Ubuntu data) and install this time worked. I am tempted to change this bug report back to 'New' but I'll wait, and in a few days (if I remember) will repeat this install and decide then. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1864787 Title: Lubuntu failed install "sfdisk --force --append /dev/sda" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/1864787/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
