I am trying to install Lubuntu on my old Dell Latitude e5510. I have used rufus to create bootable usb and have succesfully booted up inside Lubuntu. But when I try to install it I face the subjected error.
I have checked AHCI and UEFI mode from BIOS to no avail.
I have also created ext3 partition with gparted but it is also not detected.
Please help!!!
Version: Focal Fossa
Logs and screenshots may be helpful here.
Hello, I am just starting out with lubuntu. Can you please guide me what kind of logs will be helpful and the commands. Thank you.
I presume you can figure out a screenshot. The logs of the installation process are at $HOME/.cache/Calamares/session.log. Each attempt at using the installer will append to the log, so you should start a brand new boot and then grab the log.
Never seen this one before. Part of the installation is selecting keyboard layout, language, locale, then moving into partitioning.
This runs without needing access to the HDD/SSD.
Why ext3 and not ext4?
I think your problem is in the partitioning section of install, you really need to do this properly and choose the right mount points (they are NOT selected automatically) plus ticking the “format” boxes if it’s a clean install.
EDIT: just tested this. It’s actually not possible proceed with the installation without selecting a mount point. Mysterious.

Please go into the firmware settings and check, that the SATA controller is set to AHCI.
How many disks do you have? Check it also in Windows, if you have it installed.
sudo parted --list
Do you have Windows installed and if yes, is it installed in EFI or in the BIOS (legacy) mode?
If you delete /dev/sda3, so that you have unallocated space, does the installer still show the same error?
Yes, I have already checked that the SATA controller is set to AHCI. I booted Lubuntu in UEFI mode.
I have also checked the setup with unallocated space and it shows the same error.
I see a lot of DBus errors in the log file. This might cause the troubles you have.
Please check the downloaded ISO file with the SHA256 hash sum and control, that it is equal with the expected result.
How did you create the installation medium?
I created the installation usb with rufus.
Which options did you use?
I was doing it for the first time so I used all the default options.
Your screenshot in post #5 is the very first screen of the installer, so it seems it doesn’t even find your harddisk. Why have you made ext3 and not ext4?
Those DBus errors are certainly part of the problem. I agree with what was said earlier: hashes should be verified. Also, Rufus is not always 100% reliable. Try balenaEtcher instead.
