[Bug 1168115] Re: Ubiquity does not support LUKS in manual partitioning mode

[clickwir]

Still a problem in 19.04. Made a /boot and / but / was on top of an
encrypted LUKS partition. One time, the system installed but never asked
for a password on boot. So I tried again and it wouldn't even install.

IF this actually works, it's very fragile and I've yet to see it work.

On top of that, even if you don't use your own premade LUKS partition
and try using the one in the GUI installer, it never asks for a password
or options. So it never gathers enough data to even have a chance of
success.


And honestly, saying "There is not enough information here to understand or reproduce the problem." ... did you try? Because it's pretty simple to do so and see the gaping holes where it doesn't even come close to working. I appreciate you want more info, but at some point you have to try it yourself and I think if you give it any effort you'd see multiple issues. 

My guess is that no one has even tested it internally yet.

Title:
  Ubiquity does not support LUKS in manual partitioning mode

Bug description:
  After installing (daily build) into an existing lvm, no crypttab was
  generated in /etc/

  after installing oneiric versions of cryptsetup it appeared - upgrading to rarings cryptsetup version didn't delete the file and made it usable.
  Installing previous Versions in raring itself didn't bring me the crypttab file, so I guess this is not a daily build problem.
  Couldn't find any info about crypttab being deprecated

  Thank you
