Ubuntu server failing to install

[MartinIAm]

Hey! I was recently trying to install Ubuntu server on my server and unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work. After installing Ubuntu server twice, and then trying a different os, Ubuntu server fails to install. The error it shows is “Curtin command install 

preparing for installation

configuring storage 

running ‘curtin block-meta simple’

curtin command block-meta

removing precious storage devices”

and it fails there. I dont know how to fix this, because it has never occurred to me.

Thank you! Using lvm and the non live version works now and I was able to install Ubuntu successfully!
