I was able to use KDE Partition Manager today as I normally do, to setup the box and do an install.
Yes if I attempted to 'format' the partition with calamares it crashed with this error (tried once today; failed), but if calamares does not format the partition (tried once today) it worked, ie. workaround today worked (where yesterday it failed).
I'll continue some installs following Walter's #4 comment (install occurring currently on dc7700; and I'll move to d755-8 next; as I've only had this (or related 1864787) issues before on d755-5 or d755-8; ie. a dell optiplex model 755 though differing vintages) but I won't report back unless issues occur.
Yesterday may have just been unlucky, after all the issues with a cleanly booted daily and KDE Partition Manager crashing (https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ partitionmanage r/+bug/ 1917753) have NOT occurred today.
