[Bug 245399] Re: Desktop installer should have an encrypted LVM option

The encrypted LVM option is only available when I'm replacing an
existing OS. If I wish to install Ubuntu alongside another OS, the
options become grayed out (see screenshot). If I select "Something
else," the manual partition tool does not have options to install Ubuntu
in an encrypted LVM.

Title:
  Desktop installer should have an encrypted LVM option

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Wishlist

  The normal "desktop" installer should have an option like the
  alternate CD's "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM".
  You only have to read /. or listen to the news to hear about a
  gazillion lost laptops with confidential data on them.  I'd guess that
  many/most users will never bother with the alternate installer, since
  the normal (and recommended) desktop CD gives you a two-fer (LiveCD
  and install) when downloaded and burned.  Thus they will not be aware
  of this great option.

  And when you go to fix this, see also:
