[Bug 1530391] Re: Tried to install into a GUID partition table, but failed

[sudodus]

@Areeb Yasir,

When booted live-only, I wiped the casper-rw partitions's upper
directory except the home subdirectory, and things started to work again
in Lubuntu daily :-)

I don't know exactly what was causing the problem, but this action
solved it. (But we do not know if you have the same problem even if the
symptoms look the same.)

Title:
  Tried to install into a GUID partition table, but failed

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  *****

  After some more testing, I found that there was some cruft in my
  persistent live system. I wiped the casper-rw partitions's upper
  directory except the home subdirectory, and things started to work
  again in Lubuntu daily :-)

  The cruft must be leftover from previous daily editions of Xenial.
  Sorry for spamming Launchpad with this bug report.

  *****

  During iso testing I tried to install Lubuntu i386 from the desktop
  iso file into a GUID partition table, but ubiquity failed and prompted
  me automatically into this bug report.

  -----
  I should add that before the crash, there was a warning pop up window:

  ubi-prepare crashed
  ubi-prepare failed with exit code 10. Further information ... If you do not, your installation may fail entirely or may be broken.
