Public bug reported:

Hi,

I was just trying to install another machine (32GB RAM, 1TB nvme ssd,
Core i5-6200U), absolutely fresh nvme ssd (just replaced an old one),
all zeros, with Lubuntu 23.10, using it's official installation image
and calameras installer.

In contrast to my usual installation, I've chosen the manual
installation instead of just using the full disk, since I wanted to have
an encrypted disk with several LVM partitions inside (for LXD and other
uses).

Therefore

- chose manual partition
- created new partition table (GPT)
- created an 800MB FAT32 Partition (set boot label)
- created an lvm2-pv partition from all the remaining free space and checked "encryption". It asks for the password and creates it
- created a new volume group with the function button, selected the lvm-physical volume just created, gave it a name, pressed OK
- calamares then completely crashes here, reproducibly, every time. For a fraction of a second, it shows a little new, but empty windows, and then it's all gone. 


This should really be fixed for Ubuntu 24.04, since applications like
LXD and other virtualization methods do run much better with their own
partition logic instead of just using a regular directory.


regards
