[Bug 1758857] Re: Ubuntu18.04( wsp) :Encryption Volume and Mount point not visible

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

It appears that no encrypted volumes were requested in the end, hence
none were created, thus no encryption volumes available post-install
is... expected.

partman kind of uses a model-view-controller paradigm, and it tries to
present ways to model partitioning as much as possible, without actually
committing any changes on disk.

In the UI screen captures, it is shown that a partition was started to
be marked to be used as backing device for an encrypted volume, but no
volume was named/configured in the end. Hence it is marked with 'K'
flag, for 'Keep as is', instead of 'f' for 'Format'. In the logs as
well, it is indicated to leave that particular partition as is.

After one marks a partition intended for encryption, one has to go into
a different sub-menu to configure an ecrypted volume, setup name and
passphrase. Then a bare encrypted volume will be available to create a
filesystem on top of it, and a mountpoint for it (e.g. /srv)

So it seems to me, based on logs and screenshots, the installer acted as
expected in this case.

  So this is happening because of the message we see in screen4 screenshot.

  It looks like no volumes encrypted with LUKS are found.

  Preeti can you talk a bit about which disk encryption specification you chose? 
  Was there any choice available for it?

  == Comment: #7 - PREETI THAKUR  - 2018-03-26 01:04:07 ==
  In reply to comment 5

  when tried to active the volume this message came
  "No LUKS device found"

  believe this is the issue, its not encrypting the volume...but also
  point to be noted is the volume chosen for encryption does not shows
  "mount point" name.
