[Bug 1300072] Re: LVM installation fails - regression with parted 2.3-17

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package parted - 2.3-18

---------------
parted (2.3-18) unstable; urgency=medium


  * Fix LVM handling regressions caused by fix-loop-labels.patch
    (LP: #1300072):
    - Initialise dev->loop in ped_disk_new_fresh rather than ped_disk_new.
    - Temporarily set disk->dev->loop to 0 while removing partitions, so
      that we can remove previously-existing non-loop partitions (thanks,
      Phillip Susi).

  Downgrading parted to 2.3-16ubuntu3 fixes the issue.

  1. Install Ubuntu Desktop 20140330 adnd keep the defaults
  2. At step "Installation Type" select:
    - Erase disk and install Ubuntu
    - Use LVM
  and proceed

  ACTUAL RESULT

  EXPECTED RESULT
  LVM partitions are created.
