Bug Description
Attempting to use calamares from a LiveOS based on Ubuntu 24.04 (Including the new Linux Mint) is unable to create any partitions except the fat32 boot partition, all other are failing. This means to install using calamares you have to pre partition using gparted or manually from the terminal, then it works as expected. This wasn't an issue in older Ubuntu versions.
To make it easier to figure out the actual cause of the issue I'll also mention krill is also unable to partition correctly and fails to install as with calamares older versions of Ubuntu also don't have this problem.
This is a problem for making respins as these are the two tools often used by us to make the installation easier for end users.
The error shown is rsync error 11, which is the output path isn't available to write.
