[Bug 991139] Re: installation failed in user-setup-encrypted-swap with encrypted home and no swap: cannot stat `/etc/crypttab' : No such file or directory

[Geb]

- occured in 64 bit and 32 bit version !
- with and without swap partition (error message is confusing) !

Generating manually a user with encrypted home paritition after
installation (adduser --encrypt-home username) worked.

Lack of quality for a LTS version...

Title:
  installation failed in user-setup-encrypted-swap with encrypted home
  and no swap: cannot stat `/etc/crypttab' : No such file or directory

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
   Xubuntu 12.4 LTS. I can`t create a encrypted home directory from the beginning of install. I get: ubi-usersetup failed with exit code 1. 
  This is upon fresh install from USB, I also try to install from CD Xubuntu 12.04 LTS AMD64, same thing in both cases.
  My hardware is: AMD64 
  This is the error that I get in the syslog:

  Apr 29 13:40:32 xubuntu kernel: [372.247596] Intel AES-NI instructions are not detected.

  Apr 29 13:40:33 xubuntu ubiquity[5128]: dbfilter_handle_status: ('ubi-usersetup', 1)

  P.S. I don`t need a swap file, I got 5.GB RAM and the previous version
  of Xubuntu has worked fine without swap.
