This is an old but still reproducible bug ticket. I report it here again, since before there were no issues on this repo.

Ubiquity installer from LiveCD (actually USB) crashes on a step after choosing Language, Keyboard Layout and Wi-Fi network:

The problem is reproducible with Mint 20 Cinnamon, Mint 20 Mate, Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop and Ubuntu 20.10 Desktop.
My assumption is that the problem lies in the name of SSD "Innovation??IT" where ?? are two strange characters, not readable in console.
F.i. parted shows it like this:
mint@mint:~$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities :
unused devices: <none>
mint@mint:~$ sudo parted -l
Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but
Linux says it is 512 bytes.
