[Bug 2091233] Re: Installing live Ubuntu results in "Invalid partition table!" on Dell

[Paul White]

There has been no response to comment #3 after three months so closing
as a bug report filed against an incorrect package will most likely
never reach the developer that can help to resolve issues.

Title:
  Installing live Ubuntu results in "Invalid partition table!" on Dell

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  A fresh install of Ubuntu 24.10 (also Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) with default
  partitioning (doesn't matter if encryption is used or not) results in
  "Invalid partition table!" on Dell E7440 (legacy boot without Secure
  Boot enabled).

  The system still boots normally after pressing Enter. This is
  regression as it didn't happen on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

  This seems to affect especially Dell computers:
