[Bug 989279] Re: Ubiquity fails to create encrypted home directory when no swap if configured

[Brian Murray]

Hello amay82, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubiquity into precise-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/2.10.18 in
a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from
verification-needed to verification-done.  If it does not, change the
tag to verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing
will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed

Title:
  Ubiquity fails to create encrypted home directory when no swap if
  configured

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [rational]
  Ubiquity fails to create encrypted home directory when no swap if configured.

  [test case]
  1) Begin installing Ubuntu
  2) Custom partitions - Don't configure a swap partition
  3) When Ubiquity asks for the user name, say that you want an encrypted home folder
  4) Ubiquity fails: see screenshot

  [regression potential]
  Should the check fail (can't see how that could be ...), we'd just be back to the current behaviour, so can't see any real regression potential here.

  Apr 26 23:12:05 ubuntu ubiquity: cp: cannot stat `/etc/crypttab': No such file or directory

  Because of the ecryptfs-setup-swap error I assume that it fails
  because of the missing swap partition.
