I'm trying to install Ubuntu in vmm by Synology, but installer is not detecting hard drive and I can see only loading spinner infinitely on the partition selection page. However, Windows 10 was installed without any problem.

If I boot in Try mode fdisk and gdisk can access the partitions.

fdisk

gdisk

I had the same problem.
First do what our friend @Comar said.
When you arrive at gparted do:

  1. Open gparted:

    1. Delete existing partitions, click the green check button (Apply all operations), then

      APPLY -> CLOSE

    2. Click on the

      DEVICE menu -> Create Partition Table.

    3. In (Select new partition table type :) menu choose

      'gpt'> APPLY.

  2. Do a bootable flash drive using the Rufus software

    1. Add the .iso from Ubuntu.
    2. In partition scheme choose GPT.
    3. Click on start.
  3. Enable the UEFI option in your BIOS before formatting, this is usually in the motherboard BOOT menu.

  4. Boot the operating system installation normally.

In Try Ubuntu please open terminal and install qemu-guest-agent from universe repository:

sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt install qemu-guest-agent

And before running installation try using gparted to write new partition table and create an empty partition.

It should be present in live ISO.

sudo gparted

  • I tried to install Ubuntu Server 18.04, an error occurs, I think this may be the cause of my problem. server install log
