Hi there
I saw this question here and Condoman suggested I open a new topic - sorry if I've done it wrong.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop and getting this error: "ubi partman failed with exit code 10".
To be honest it's a reinstall, because I had everything working and then messed it up by deleting a partition in the Disks app - my fault.
Anyway, I don't care too much about saving data I just want a system which will boot. The laptop is a little unusual in that it has a 256GB SSD and a 1TB HDD - I want to boot off the SSD to make the boot a bit faster.
The SSD is UEFI (I have to admit I don't really understand that) - but I know I had the system booting and working fine (Ubuntu only) for 2 years until I muffed it a couple of days ago.
I followed the instructions in that question I references to use GParted on the disk and made a small EFI partition (it's actually 512Mb), bootable
I noticed that the rest of the disk (ext4) is also bootable
But rerunning the installation I still get the same error - I looked at the syslog in var/log and if I understand correctly, the relevant lines are:
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks so much for any help

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks so much for any help
