lubuntu 20.04 daily install on hp 8200 (QA) failed;

[Chris Guiver]

possibly related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/1928293

I'll re-attempt (after reboot) using `sudo -E calamares -d`

re-use SDA1 (ESP) & SDA2 (/) on hp 8200 WITHOUT FORMAT
no touch of fedora or opensuse partition(s)

OF NOTE: this was a working 20.04 system which I 'install using existing partition' (ie. no format) attempted to install 22.04; but it failed to login with GUI with a reason i didn't work out... the install looked good from terminal; I gather issues with `sddm` which I'd heavily modified for support purposes (stuff others had done etc) which was likely issue... I'd have discounted any inability to login, but this was install error; which should not have been impacted by any possible-sddm-config or other issue that was preventing GUI from starting.

[Chris Guiver (guiverc)]

repeated install & same issue

before starting `calamares` (sudo -E calamares -d) I used KDE Partition Manager to check sda1 (ESP) & sda2 (/)

[Chris Guiver (guiverc)]

I just noted

Processing triggers for man-db (2.9.1-1) ...
/usr/bin/mandb: can't write to /var/cache/man/85916: No space left on device
/usr/bin/mandb: can't create index cache /var/cache/man/85916: No space left on device
Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils (0.24-1ubuntu3) ...
(and problems after this..)

I'll have to keep looking, beginning to look like USER/OPERATOR procedural error... ie. I'm asking for more than I have space for...

I'm going to mark this INCOMPLETE.... I need to create some space then re-try..

[Chris Guiver (guiverc)]

Not a space issue (maybe)

I found the jammy ISO on / & deleted it (there for support issue & forgotten) then re-ran the install hoping the space issue would be solved.. yeah no mention of "No space on" however still another failure
