** try 1 (NO ISSUES AT ALL) dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550) testcase: BIOS, no encryption, internet, manual partitioning, seperate home (sda8), / in sda9 after selecting SDA9 for / and ensuring FORMAT checkbox is ticked, on OK, if I re-enter to confirm value it reports no-format. this is unexpected, and I wanted to 'format' to ensure nothing remains.., I won't force it this time (in past have switched it to reiserfs then back to ext4) ** try 2 dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550) testcase: BIOS, no encryption, internet, manual partitioning, seperate home (sda8), / in sda9 repeat BUT this time I will FORCE format of / partition, via change to reiserfs then back to ext4 sda8 re-used as /home, format sda9 as / installation failed; command: sfdisk --force --apend /dev/sda Could it be my play required to 'force' the FORMAT flag to be set is causing the issue? or at the very least this is possible clue as to where bug is? I'll now just reboot 'live' system (kde partition manager won't make changes to disk after this error for some reason!??) then manually format sda9 as I want (ext4) and then select it (manual partitioning) and install; which historically works -- 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
