Bug Description
Lubuntu 20.04.2 RC/daily QA-test install on
- dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
Testcase: Install Alongside (prior install was a Xubuntu focal.2 I believe)
This was unexpected, as I've only had the 1864787 issue on a different box (an older d755) before, which had a more complex partition layout.
This is 99.9% likely to be marked duplicate of https:/
--- Steps to re-produce:
1: full disk install Lubuntu/Xubuntu (occurred after each)
2: reboot & do another install using "Install alongside" of Lubuntu 20.04.2
(no changes made to disk allocation, just use defaults; details entered shouldn't matter but I used "guiverc", "Chris Guiver" & password is usually "please" for QA-test installs.. machine name used varies but usually "d755-8" for box mentioned in this report).
Two outcomes
- 98% of time successful install (expected outcome)
- at most 2% time this failure (the problem)
This issue is not predictable on this box. For some reason the other bug report (1864787) had a far higher failure rate.

The installer failed to create partition on disk 'WDC WD800AAJS-60B4A0'.
