Comment 15 for bug 1864787

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.).
