[Bug 1033985] Re: unable to install quantal on system running precise with LVMs

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

this is a by-product of introducing lvm and crypto support.
There are a few fixes in the following two branches:
- lp:~dmitrij.ledkov/ubiquity/crypto-done
- lp:~dmitrij.ledkov/partman-crypto/finish.d

Which should be merged soon. Sorry for the temporary / work-in-progress inconvenience.
If you need to re-install *right* now, please use netinst or alternative cds.

Title:
  unable to install quantal on system running precise with LVMs

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Attempting to install quantal on a system running precise (installed
  from alternate CD) with LVMs results in ubiquity looping and never
  allowing the install to proceed:

  - On "Installation type" screen, select "erase Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and reinstall"
  - click "Install Now"
  - On "Erase Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and reinstall" screen, click "Install Now"
  - bottom of screen shows "Installing..."
  - window appears titled "Remove existing logical volume data?" and tells me I have 2 LVs to remove(root, swap_1) in 1 VG in 1 PV (/dev/sda5).
  - click "Continue".
  - window disappears and takes me back to "Erase Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and reinstall" screen.
  - click "Install Now"
  - a moment later the window reverts to the "Installation type" screen.
  - clicking "Install Now" just loops round again.
