[Bug 1066480] Re: 12.10 installer don't show encrypted partitions

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Please read release notes for the workaround:
"The desktop image installer cannot unlock existing encrypted (LUKS) volumes. If you need to make use of existing encrypted volumes during partitioning, then use the "Try Ubuntu without installing" boot option to start a live session, open the encrypted volumes (for example, by clicking on their icons in the Unity launcher), enter your password when prompted to unlock them, close them again, and run ubiquity to start the installer. (1066480)"

This is a known and open bug for the cycle in development.

Quantal images will not be re-released.

Bug description:
  Hallo
  Testing 20121014 amd64 desktop in virtual env.
  in the disk was already present an encrypted Ubuntu installation, and when I try to install a second Ubuntu it don't consider the encrypted partitions, suggesting to erase all the disk instead to instal along side.
  But I want a free system for my son and an ecrypted one for my work on the same disk.
  Attached screenshot
  Thanks
  Fabio

  We can also see that the partition is regularry mounted and showed in
  launcher.
