I have a machine with two disks. Both were LVM and encrypted. I wanted to install Kubuntu 20.04 on /dev/sdb and formatted it and created a GPT partition table and the necessary partitions. When I run the installer and set the partitions up for the installation I make sure that all partitions from /dev/nvme0n are set to "do not use". However, the installer keeps trying to mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 which is the EPS of that drive. But it was set to "do not use". Luckily the mounting fails to due the encryption I think. Otherwise, the installer might possibly have overwritten my data on some of the /dev/nvme0n1p1 partitions. Ok, what do I need to do to get the installer to not attempt mounting that partition so I can install the OS on /dev/sdb?
Here are some outputs and screenshots:
btw. clicking "Continue" does not help. The installation process is stuck at 33%.
