Title:
  lubuntu focal hirsute install; calamares error

Status in Calamares:
  New
Status in calamares package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Lubuntu hirsute QA-test install on
  - dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
  - hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)
  (full disk, no encryption, internet) stopped with error

  ** Steps to re-create
  - boot live system
  - (optional, adjust displays to match setup etc)
  - start `calamares` using System->Install.System
  - select `erase disk & install` etc.

  ** Expected results
  - system installs without issue

  ** Actual results

  -- Installation Failed --
  External command finished with errors.
  Command calamares-logs-helper /tmp/calamares-root-k7o5hdvc finished with exit code 1. Output: + root=/tmp/calamares-root-k7o5hdvc + install_dir=/tmp/calamares-root-k7o5hdvc/var/log/installer + [ -d /tmp/calamares-root-k7o5hdvc/var/log/installer ] + mkdir -p /tmp/calamares-root-k7o5hdvc/var/log/installer + cp /home/lubuntu/.cache/calamares/session.log /tmp/calamares-root-k7o5hdvc/var/log/installer/debug cp: cannot stat '/home/lubuntu/.cache/calamares/session.log': No such file or directory
  -- Close --

  I didn't see expected session.log to peruse for clues???

  ** Extra Notes

  If calamares is started via
  - System->Install.Lubuntu.20.10, or
  - Desktop(Install.Lubuntu.20.10)
  options, the issue will not occur  (in my testing anyway)

  I've only tested it (thus far) using BIOS boxes
