I had the same problem. I got message:

Job: Create new partition on device '/dev/sda'
  Command: sfdisk --force --append /dev/sda
  Failed to add partition ...

Both Lubuntu installer and KDE Partition Manager failed to create partition.
I tried gparted - it worked fine.

So I used gparted first to create a partition and selected that partition in Lubuntu installer.
Unfortunately, the installer deleted and tried to re-create the partition, failing again.

So once more, I used gparted to create a partition and in the Lubuntu installer I used "Manual partitioning", avoiding partition changes. Finally it worked.
