I encountered this today on two machines.[1] In both cases I was trying to install 20.04 Lubuntu daily image using the "alongside" option. In both cases it failed with the error msg reported for this bug. But, when I restarted the installer, it showed the existing partition resized, and a new partition present. I chose "replace partition" and ended up getting what I was wanting to get from "alongside."
One machine is bios only. The other is "legacy." Both disks were MBR. The first one had two existing partitions which I wanted to install alongside. The other had one existing partition. (Both are 500g drives with at least 90% freespace in the existing partitions.). [1] i5-4200M 2.5Ghz; 4th gen core processor 4600 gfx; Intel 7260 (Lenovo ThinkPad E440 20C5 laptop). It has a Hitachi 500gb Sata3 hdd, 7200rpm. i5-560M 2.67Ghz; NVIDIA GeForce GT420M; Intel Centrino 6200 (Dell XPS L501X laptop). -- 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/calamares/+bug/1864787/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
