During the next few days I will try to run several test cases and report 
bugs if/when I find new ones.

I started Calamares via the start menu.

I have not yet tried 'sudo calamares'

This is what I have tried (and Calamares fails). I have tried different 
options, and 'nothing' has worked so far. I have 'only' tried in real 
computers, not in any virtual machine.

But installing from the Ubuntu mini.iso (also 64-bits) was successful. 
The result was a working Lubuntu installed system (without zram).

Yes, I can try UEFI mode and secure boot in my Toshiba laptop from 2013, 
and report whatever result I get.
