Looking at the linked bug report, the issue was simply caused by having /var on a separate partition. I tried to do a much more simple scheme with just / and /var (both ext4) and had no problems. Admittedly that bug report seems to be specific to BTRFS and it results in a different error related to trying to unmount something that wasn't mounted. tl;dr all that has nothing to do with your situation.
I have a sneaking suspicion your problem is somewhat related to your hardware itself. So the first thing I would try to do is to reproduce the problem with the exact same setup. Assuming you can do that, I would try to try other permutations as well as try eliminating variables to see if you can figure out what the culprit is. I'd suggest: 1. Trying to flip which device has which partition scheme 2. Trying to do the whole partition scheme on one device, then the other 3. Using a simpler partition scheme, perhaps where the other device has only a /var partition and let /home and /usr just live under / 4. Using the simpler partition scheme on one device or the other etc. ** Changed in: calamares (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056647 Title: Calamares Install fail - Lubuntu Noble 24.04 - Could not unmount target system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/2056647/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
