[Bug 1301383] Re: Ubuntu installer doesn't format swap partition when selecting encrypted drive and home

[Star Man]

The «mkswap» solution provided by the user who filed this bug didn't work for me.
I'm constrained to use an unencrypted SWAP partition.
Is there any other solution for this? (Or should I have to go back to Precise again...)

Title:
  Ubuntu installer doesn't format swap partition when selecting
  encrypted drive and home

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Versions:

  Ubuntu 14.04 Beta 2 AMD64 - "ubuntu-14.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso"
  Xubuntu 14.04 Beta 2 AMD64 - "xubuntu-14.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso"

  Steps to reproduce running the standard amd64 iso installer:

  1. Select install Ubuntu
  2. Choose erase entire disk and auto-partition
  3. Select full disk encryption
  4. Select home drive encryption
  5. Set other timezone/username settings

  Problem:

  On boot the swap partition is not activated. 
  However, entries for the swap partition are present in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab.

  Solution:

  The following command: "mkswap /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1" immediately resolves the issue.
  The installer should automatically ensure the swap partition is formatted.
