Upstream maintainer here. Thanks Steve McIntyre for useful screenshots and fdisk output. It's given me something to work with. (Mostly, I manage to crash the installer with a segfault while trying to set up something like your disk)
The Calamares version in Debian is 3.2.36. That's from february. Upstream has a 2-week release cycle which doesn't mesh really well with Debian. Calamares 3.2.45 (from early november) had a bunch of LVM-related fixes, and the changelog mentions many other things related to partitioning in the meantime. What I do: - boot VM in BIOS mode - dd 64MB of zeros to my (virtual) disk - start the installer - click through to the partitioning page - create a new partition table, MBR. - create a partition on the disk, primary partition, LVM PV as type, whole disk. OK that dialog. - click "New Volume Group" button, check the box for the new PV, give it a label, click OK. - installer vanishes without a trace, segmentation fault. This still happens -- well, there's an ASSERT triggered instead -- on the latest Calamares, so while I can't reproduce the specific issue, I can find other things that need work (in a general sense "all the LVM functionality", which only works well in an unfortunately-narrow set of circumstances). Feel free to file an upstream issue (Jonathan Carter pinged me on IRC to point me at this downstream one) with specific steps to reproduce the issues you've been having, though. [ade]
