[Bug 1169611] Re: 13.04 installation has damaged my luks partition

[Hugo Melo]

Yes, I did select "do not use the partition" option.

The question to me is: why the format of my home partition is not being recognized?
If ubiquity got confused and tried to format my luks partition with something else it would be possible to mount that.

Title:
  13.04 installation has damaged my luks partition

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Some days ago I've installed ubuntu 13.04 beta2 release on a clean
  partition I had.

  I've chosen in the installer to not touch my home partition as it's
  encrypted and I doubted it would not understand that.

  I chose the root partition and asked to encrypt my swap partition.

  After installation I couldn't open my home partition any more. It keep
  saying:

    hugo at scare:~$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/ubuntu/home home_crypt
  Device /dev/ubuntu/home is not a valid LUKS device.

  I don't know what the installer thought about my partition but I expected it to not touch that.
  I am still trying to not go crazy about it but I didn't have the luks partition header on my backups and I have almost zero hope on recovering that. I just expect it to be fixed in a near future.

  It seems  ubuntu installer still has little support for lvm+luks
  partitions on installer.
