Comment 58 for bug 1899308

Hi Thomas,

1. Yes, the software in the ISO fiddles with the USB stick partitioning. I think this was introduced in Ubuntu 19.10. I think it is used to log the installer (to help debug failures) and to store crash dumps. (I would be happy to turn it off.)

Please tell me which partition editor commands to run and I will upload the output. You can do the same in your computer and check if there is any difference.

Well, after your tweaks it seems to work again in most computers also with GPT, but for a long time the partition was created, but the ext4 file system failed to be created.

2. I agree with you about how it should be. But my experience is contrary to that in some cases.
