Bug Description
We have multiple reports in private bugs about Subiquity installs failing at the Curtin partitioning step.
The symptom for that would be the following in curtin-install.log
finish: cmd-install/
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/snap/
ret = args.func(args)
File "/snap/
return log_time("TIMED %s: " % msg, func, *args, **kwargs)
File "/snap/
return func(*args, **kwargs)
File "/snap/
return meta_custom(args)
File "/snap/

raise ValueError(
ValueError: unsupported fs type ''

status: | New → Fix Committed |
We believe this issue has been resolved in Subiquity 24.04.1, which can be obtained on the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ISOs or as a snap refresh.
If testing from 23.10 or 23.04 Desktop ISOs, due to the snap change from ubuntu- desktop- installer to ubuntu- desktop- provision it is necessary to use the 24.04 Desktop ISO to obtain the fix.
