[Bug 1851188] Re: Failed to create a partition table - install failed
Had same issue on creating partition table during Lubuntu 2020.04 LTS installation. Worked it around by opening terminal from the live cd and zeroing the first MB of /dev/sda disk in my case: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=2048 oflag=direct conv=fsync After zeroing, re-running the installer went with no issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851188 Title: Failed to create a partition table - install failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calamares/+bug/1851188/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1851188] Re: Failed to create a partition table - install failed
BTW if you do get the problem where you have only manual partition options, there's two possible explanations: 1. An existing partition has a swap on it. Ubuntu has a "feature" where it automounts them. 2. The partition is somehow mounted, which can happen if you've run Cala and then cancelled it. Either way, `swapoff` and `umount`, respectively, are your friends. Make sure to do it while Cala is not open. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851188 Title: Failed to create a partition table - install failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calamares/+bug/1851188/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I adjusted monitor to match my setup, opened firefox to view page (different room) then copy/pasted `sudo ln -s /usr/bin/udevadm /sbin/udevadm` into term; started calamares... I only had the option to MANUAL PARTITION drive, so I've rebooted to start again (in case I did something else.. which I'll assume I did that caused a `mount` to occur) second time everything was as expected. COPY & PASTING from this page comment #46 (wxl) or `sudo ln -s /usr/bin/udevadm /sbin/udevadm` BEFORE i opened calamares/installer. install was clean & tested correctly after reboot. I repeated the test, booted daily ISO again, firefox to find this page, copy & paste sudo ln -s /usr/bin/udevadm /sbin/udevadm command then hide term firefox tabs to open 'install/calamares' and install created file system, filled file system etc...

I don't know why I never caught this before:
2020-02-22 - 18:56:39 [6]: Running "env" ("/sbin/udevadm", "settle")
2020-02-22 - 18:56:39 [6]: Finished. Exit code: 127

/usr/bin/env: ‘/sbin/udevadm’: No such file or directory
2020-02-22 - 18:56:39 [2]: WARNING: Could not settle disks.
That was the activity mentioned in the upstream bug that they suspected
would fix the issue. I believe they even added a second run of it in
hopes if making it better.
And here it is not running at all because it's calling a full path
that's the wrong one. But /usr/bin/udevadm is the right one.
Creating a symlink fixes the issue: `sudo ln -s /usr/bin/udevadm
/sbin/udevadm`.
Though the original upstream bug
(https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1170) is still relevant,
it really came to no clear conclusion because we weren't looking in the
wrong place.
There's a new bug to fix this and several other issues which I have now
linked instead.

Leó (and anyone else watching) since you're not on our Phabricator I couldn't tag you in but upstream believes the issue to be the way we call Calamares. I'm skeptical but you can test as described there (https://phab.lubuntu.me/T150#3176) or simply by just running `sudo calamares -E` (although the links on the welcome screen should not work if you call it that way).
