Hello,
So first off I'm sorry if this has already been discussed but I have spent at least the last hour searching but to no avail.
Here's the problem so, I am attempting to dual boot ubuntu studio 18.10 with windows. So I shrank my data partition and made over 100 GB of space. Then I made the installation USB (I tried two different USBs to be sure that wasn't the problem). After booting from the installation USB I began to install ubuntu studio. When I got to the screen where I select how my partitions are going to be I click on the free space and then click on the plus to make a new partition, but when I do, all the buttons on the installer gray-out and then it stalls indefinitely (and I left it for about a half an hour) (I have an SSD). So after some searching, I thought that maybe the problem was that I already had 4 primary partitions because of some mystery 16mb windows partition that I think might be there for managing other partitions, but that can't be the problem because my hard drive is formatted GPT, which can have up to 128 primary partitions with no problems. So now I don't know what the problem is. Maybe the installer doesn't realize that with GPT you can have more than 4 partitions? maybe the installer doesn't realize that my hard drive is GPT? Maybe the problem is another entirely? What do you guys think?
