[Bug 2068811] Re: Ubuntu 24.04 installer is unable to create or use existing encrypted volumes if there is a drive on the system that has Windows with BitLocker enabled.

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

You've filed this report against ubiquity, which is deprecated and
unsupported for 24.04 except in a very rare/limited case. You've
provided no product details (Server? Desktop?) no clues as to ISO
architecture, and you didn't file using apport tools so details weren't
collected.

Most windows machines are amd64, so are you using ubiquity?  More likely
its ubuntu-desktop-installer (Desktop) or subiquity (Server), but
details are vague.

Please execute the following command only once, as it will automatically
gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect 2068811

(As you don't have an install; do this from your install media)

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-
bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this
functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.
