[Bug 1510731] Re: Bug in ubiquity-frontend-kde: Can't create LUKS encrypted volumes during manual disk setup in Kubuntu 17.10 (does not affect Ubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, or Ubuntu Budgie)

[Douglas Silva]

Workaround from comment #22 works. For clarity, let me just add that you
don't need to press the "Install" button on the "Installation Type"
screen, you simply type the decryption password twice and then click the
radio button for "Manual".

Title:
  Bug in ubiquity-frontend-kde: Can't create LUKS encrypted volumes
  during manual disk setup in Kubuntu 17.10 (does not affect Ubuntu,
  Ubuntu MATE, or Ubuntu Budgie)

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Selecting "Manual" under disk setup if I add a "/boot" and then create
  the next partition as "physical volume for encryption" I'm then given
  no way to use that volume (i.e formatting and setting up the
  passphrase so I can put LVM or FS on it). See crypto-no-usable-
  options.png.

  None of the available buttons on the screen do anything useful at this
  point and additionally it's very easy to accidentally trigger bug
  #1510730 while looking for some way to apply the layout.

  Basically there doesn't seem to be any way to do custom layouts using
  crypto in ubiquity currently.
