Public bug reported:

This bug report is filed only so I can close the iso.qa.ubuntu.com page
as failure.

When it's working again; I'll repeat the install (another day!) and can
file a VALID bug report if install fails again... We've got weeks before
20.04.5 still, thus it's not high priority for me (yet).

Lubuntu jammy install to
- hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600)

testcase:  install using existing partition

sda2 - re-use for / (no format)
sda1 - re-use for /boot/EFI (no format)
other partitions ignored

I've not found out why the install failed, but it wasn't a clean
install; so I'm still not convinced the failure was as a result of some
change(s) I've made in hopes of answering support queries (that had me
do something stupid/unusual to the system prior to install...)

I do use the system so it was working.. just isn't (Lubuntu) post
install...  Other systems (dual boot box) are good; Fedora (whatever
latest is), OpenSuSE tumbleweed good.

Lubuntu boots but no SDDM, so of course no login..

I can use terminal; and system so far looks okay  (I'd like to perform
checks still when GUI is working as I didn't find all of what I
expected)...

This report will be marked INCOMPLETE as I've not found smoking gun, and
its very probable to be caused by prior strange-edits-as-consequence-of-
support-queries..  (or I made a mistake; I expected a good install!)
