[Bug 1900835] [NEW] Installer for Ubuntu 20.04 failed

[Daan Heuvelbeuk]

Public bug reported:

My installation keeps on failing. First during an update from 18.04 to
20.04, next several times with a live DVD.

Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS - AMD® Fx(tm)-4350 quad-core processor × 4 - Gnome
version 3.36.3 - Windowing system X11

What did I do: Booted to Live DVD, clicked the 'Install Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS' button, among others while partitioning created:
- a biosgrub partition of 1 MB
- a swap partition of 16187 MB
- formatted a root partition of 41154 MB
- used a partition for the existing home drive

It failed which resulted in this bug report.
