Description Rich B 2023-08-18 19:53:30 UTC
Description of problem:
Trying to install on a Dell Wyse 3040. 

During install, I chose custom on the drive selection page. When I try to delete a volume, the error is generated and I'm forced to quit the installer.

If I select the Automatic option to have the mount points created automatically, when clicking the done button, I get a message that there is not 
enough free space on the drive. I then try to delete the existing volumes and the error is generated and the installer quits.

I did see a page that mentioned the emmc storage disk in a Dell Wyse 3040 has some unicode characters in the name. I believe the 
disk is a Hitachi disk.

Version-Release number of selected component:

There is no journal or syslog, so it's impossible to tell, but this could be a duplicate of bug 2148480.
