2017-10-19 10:28:11 Jean-Baptiste Lallement description This should not be happening at all. Install fails with a grub-install error; failing to find /dev/dm-0. Interestingly, I picked "Erase entire disk", for a system (Dell Vostro V130) that was previously installed with Xubuntu. Given that "Erase entire disk" should just wipe all partitions and create new ones, none of which using LVM (because that was not picked at all, neither LVM not LVM with crypto); it should not be trying to use dm-0 at all. There are other errors earlier on with ubiquity failing to properly recognize the type of filesystem.

Install fails with a grub-install error; failing to find /dev/dm-0. Interestingly, I picked "Erase entire disk", for a system (Dell Vostro V130) that was previously installed with Xubuntu. Given that "Erase entire disk" should just wipe all partitions and create new ones, none of which using LVM (because that was not picked at all, neither LVM not LVM with crypto); it should not be trying to use dm-0 at all. There are other errors earlier on with ubiquity failing to properly recognize the type of filesystem. Test Case 1. Install a system using LVM (not encryted) and proceed with the installation 2. Install a second time on the same system but this time select "Erase entire disk" Expected result Second installation is successful Actual result grub-installer fails because it tries to install grub on /dev/dm-0 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: ubiquity 17.10.10 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-16-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.387 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Oct 17 21:14:21 2017 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20171017.1) ProcEnviron:  TERM=xterm-256color  PATH=(custom, no user)  XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set>  LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8  SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: ubiquity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
