Install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ubiquity.desktop does not launch in test mode

rs flag

I am trying to create a RAID for two SSD and following this guidance Install Ubuntu 20.04 desktop with RAID 1 and LVM on machine with UEFI BIOS

I can enter the Ubuntu trial mode and create the partitions.

I get stuck with Step 3 - Install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS icon from desktop. Nothing happens when I click it. I found a suggestion here - Ubuntu live: ubiquity.desktop (alias "Install <MyDistro>") is not launched but running the installation file as root didn't work for me either. Nor does changing the code of the ubiquity file into

Exec=sudo --preserve-env=DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS,XDG_RUNTIME_DIR ubiquity gtk_ui

Then my error message is --preserve-env=DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS,XDG_RUNTIME_DIR: Command not found

Alternatively, I tried to run the ubiquity command from terminal with

sudo apt-get install ubiquity ubiquity-frontend-gtk
ubiquity --desktop gtk_ui

but nothing happens and after a while the error message is "Failed to wait for daemon to reply: Connection timed out".

Appreciate any suggestions to resolve this.

I am using an ISO file from a USB which worked for the initial installation (before attempting to install a RAID) and it also worked to get into the test mode of Ubuntu.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
