Title:
  Ubiquity kubuntu does not support / partition encryption (dual boot)

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This bug exists at leat with 19.04, 19.10 and 20.04 beta.

  With the ubuntu installer one can click on "do something else" and
  choose "physical volume for encryption" to create an encrypted
  partition. The installer nicely ask for the password and creates and
  then shows /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt which can eventually be
  formated/mounted as /. Alongside with a non-encrypted /boot partition
  the installation works like a charm.

  With the kubuntu installer it does not work. If one selects "manual"
  and then "physical volume for encryption", the installer does not ask
  for a password and no /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt is created. Therefore it
  is not  possible to install kubuntu with an encrypted / out of the
  box. It is possible to install kubuntu on a fully encrypted drive but
  many users are in dual boot.

  Workaround : either create the encrypted partition with the command
  line before you run the kubuntu installer or install ubuntu and try to
  apt install kde afterwards.
