 Sorry, I should have removed that bug report. I am a noob of sorts on
Linux and had not yet learned that there are certain things that one
cannot do to a mounted drive (like partition it).

Best regards,

Following bug 89605, I made ubiquity able to unmount mounted partitions as necessary before committing partitioning. Based on your most recent comment, that should fix your bug.
