I am creating the bootable USB on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Kernel: 4.18.0-25-generic) using the following command: sudo dd if= of=/dev/sdb bs=512k I then use the dd command (mentioned below) to create the live installer. I tried both MBR and GPT partitioning schemes (although I don't think it matters for the live installer USB). The installation fails with the exact same log for both cases I have cleaned its partition table using sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=2048 count=32 (1 TB) The second is an internal hard disk that I am using with an external SATA to USB 3.0/2.0 cable. I have wiped the entire disk with DBAN (quick option) (1 TB) The first internal hard disk I tried currently has no operating system on it.I have tried the installation on two internal hard disks: I chose Guided partition | Choose entire disk | All files in one partition WARNING **: Menu item 'live-installer' failedĭetails regarding the step: Partition disks: WARNING **: Configuring 'live-installer' failed with error code 1
