Bug Description

When installing Ubuntu MATE 22.04.3 to a USB stick in UEFI mode, the installer chooses the EFI system partition from my internal SSD, instead of from the USB stick.

The installed UEFI files end up on my internal SSD's EFI system partition.

I'll include my notes and the after-the-install /var/log directory into this bug report.

@Chris Guiver /var/log contents are not enough?

Edit: I mean I'd need to redo the install on the USB stick to run that apport-collect?
