Error while installing Lubuntu 19.10... please help

[angelonelo]

Hello!

I’m trying to install Lubuntu by erasing my current drive and replacing it with lubuntu 19.10.
I previously was using a 18.04 LTS version which I decided to update.
as soon as I started Lubuntu 19.10 installer and click install I get this error

Installation Failed

The installer failed to create a partition table on lubuntu-vg.

Did you check the installation media for defects at the boot screen?

[apt-ghetto]

Yes, please check first the checksum of the downloaded ISO.

/dev/lubuntu-vg looks like LVM is in use. As far as I know, you cannot create a partition table inside the volume group (but I might be wrong). And I am not sure, if Calamares can handle LVM correctly (I have never tried it).

Can you please provide the output of:

sudo parted --list

I checked the installation media for defects and there was no problems

here is the
sudo parted --list

What partition scheme did you use when installing?

[angelonelo]

I chose to erase my current data

[wxl]

You just did the Erase Disk option?

[angelonelo]

I have tried all options

[wxl]

What is the hash of the ISO you have?

[angelonelo]

I apologize for the wait, here is the hash:
SHA-256
761C4603F689B1A109D67BDE3F2CA0BCC750CE973AC8C1A8E98CA188BBC3E760

And indeed 761c4603f689b1a109d67bde3f2ca0bcc750ce973ac8c1a8e98ca188bbc3e760 is correct.

I might suggest booting the live media and deleting all the partitions on the drive and then installing.

All done

Thank you very much!!
