Installer failed to create a partition table

[Joel64]

EDIT: I ended up installing 22.04 until a later date when I'll try 24.04 again.

I had Ubuntu 22.04 on my laptop, and started installing Kubuntu 24.04 a few minutes ago.
Went through the steps and chose the erase disk option, and when it came time for it to install, I got this error:

- - - - - - - - - -
Installation Failed
The installer failed to create a partition table on vgubuntu

Details:
Create a new partition table (type: gpt) on '/dev/vgubuntu'
Job: Create a new partition table on device '/dev/vgubuntu'
- - - - - - - - - -

I'm fairly new to this, so please explain things like I'm an idiot, lol.

Thanks!

/dev/vgubuntu is 'odd'

What are you attempting to install to? What type of PC do you have? Specifications please. From what are you installing from? How did you create the installation media?

It's an HP laptop, only a couple years old, came with Windows 11. I installed Ubuntu 22.04 on it a few weeks ago.

I downloaded the Kubuntu 24.04 ISO to my laptop, then created an installation USB from that.

vgubuntu was the partition that Ubuntu was on. The hard drive is an internal 1TB SSD.

Sound like you had LVM enabled for the Kubuntu 22.04 LTS installation (possibly encryption with LUKS too)…

I was using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS previously. And yes, it was LVM / LUKS enabled.
