Bug Description

I already had a Kubuntu installation before I attempted this one, however, something went wrong and I tried a fresh install. Now, the installer apparently can't install Kubuntu on the drive. I've already tried deleting the EFI partition in the hope that the installer would simply create a new partition, but it didn't.
