[Bug 820460] Re: Encrypted LVM install will not allow login in Xubuntu Alpha3

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Could you please attach the installer log from /var/log/installer ? 
You can collect the installer logs by booting in rescue mode and mounting LVM root partition. Thanks in advance.

Title:
  User not created with LVM and encrypted home partition

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  RELEASE:  Oneiric Ocelot Alpha3 candidate
  CD/DVD VARIANT:  Xubuntu Alternate i386 and amd64 images
  ISO BUILD:  20110802.1

  SYMPTOMS:
  After installing using the instructions provided at http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/AlternateEncryptedLvm , when restarting, I can enter the passphrase. When lightdm starts, entering the username and password results in "Incorrect password". Switching to a tty, entering the same information results in "login incorrect". Since this is an encrypted drive, I can not access any logs.

  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

      Step 1:  install Xubuntu using the instructions for the encrypted LVM install:
                   http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/AlternateEncryptedLvm
      Step 2:  Attempt to login to lightdm

  This has failed for me using two different hardware computers and
  VirtualBox.
