partitioning - ubi-partman error 141 clean install kubuntu 16.04 on Thinkpad X201

I have some years of experience installing Linux on servers, but, this is my first time trying to test Kubuntu on my thinkpad x201 for regular use



I did



dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=10000


just to wipe the previous OS in there.




So the disk is clean without any content or partitions in it



But the Kubuntu installer keeps throwing ubi-partman error 141



It is a very simple default install, not dual boot. Are there any easy ways to solve this?



I just want something friendly, in order to taste it for a regular user with gmail and youtube, and i dont want a heavy OS, that is why i´m trying Kubuntu.
