Bug Description

Lubuntu 18.04.4 QA-test install testcase (Install Alongside)

Box has 3 drives; I want to install alongside the prior full-disk install on SDA (ie. auto-resize)

I've tried this twice, it's only letting me select SCSI4/SDC (80gb) where I want SDA/40gb drive

I'd expect the dropdown selector "Select drive" to allow me to select the drive I'm installing on, alas selecting it with the mouse makes the current option BLUE but I have no other choices (where I'd want to view my two other drives).

This box is i386/i686; and this will only impact people with multiple drives.

I'm trying to install Xubuntu 18.04.4 (QA-test) on the box using the same drive (SDA), using full disk was good & completed (just like Lubuntu), however using install-alongside which is what I was trying to do and filed this bug.

Xubuntu 18.04.4 also won't let me select any other drive than SDC

I changed my mind and filed Xubuntu on different report - hoping it'd provide more detail as it's wasn't just a 'live' system, but a running system which had details of `ubiquity` actually running....

Filed under https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1861965

It's possible I had this issue with 18.04.3 but I cannot know. SDC was split into two partitions which fits a INSTALL ALONGSIDE division, and 19.04 qa-installs ended prior to 18.04.3's release so it's very probable that 18.04.3 was the last install & I maybe just used SDC.
