Bug Description

I was trying to install ubuntu 20.10 on a laptop with an existing disk encryption with several logical volumes containing data, it didn't work and crashed. Also I noticed that in one of the attempts the swap partition wasn't just initialised, but also activated, this may have been the case while I was attempting to go through one of the partitioning attempts.

I guess this wasn't a use case that was fully tested, however I found a question (without answer) about this very issue.

I unlocked the luks fs via the ctrl-alt-f2 terminal using `cryptsetup luksOpen somename`, this went as expected and the logical volumes became visible in the partioner after I reloaded (back/continue) the partitioning page.

I'm probably now going to backup the entire disk and reformat the entire nvme, so I won't be able to test this again anytime soon.
