***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install an ubuntu based distro (I did mint)
2. Then install kde neon over it.
3. When I install kde neon by erasing entire disk this error shows up

OBSERVED RESULT
I got an error (it's in the attachment)

EXPECTED RESULT
Installing Normally with no issue


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

OS: KDE Neon 5.24 User Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tried installing kde neon on actual hardware over mint and on a vm over mint and reinstalled neon over neon.
Workaround: Use gnome disk utility and installed it by "sudo apt install gnome-disk-utility" and wiped disk with quick wipe. When I made a new vm it installed normally with out any issues.

Comment 2 galder 2022-02-11 20:08:17 UTC
I had exact this problem when I tried to install Neon in a VM.
The workaround was erase all partitions and a follow the instructions to create them manually.
Erase entire disk option should just work.

installation error

I just did a test  to replicate the issue in VM.
It happen when the disk already has partitions.
steps:
1 - Install Kde neon user in  new VM machine
2 - install again with erase option
3 - The error appears
