Title:
  Lubuntu installer bugs (encryption without swap)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I have encountered difficulties when installing Lubuntu 14.04 with the encrypting options.
  So this report concerns the Lubuntu installer package, but I don't know it's name.

  My configuration :
  - ASUS eeePC 1005PXD
  - Bios-GPT configuration
  - Lubuntu 14.04 32bits installed from a USB key prepared by UnetBootIn
  - Clean GPT Hard'Disk, with only 2 blanks partitions (sda1=1Go and sda2 = 20Go)

  During the installation process, at the partitioning step, I asked for
  a manual installation (/dev/sda1 is the bios_grub raw partition, every
  files on /dev/sda2 and no swap) but when asking for a encrypted /home,
  I get a not understandable message "ubi-usersetup failed with error
  code n°1 .......".

  Then I deleted all partitions (clean GPT disk) and asked for an
  automatic installation : Install a new Lubuntu on /dev/sda with "LVM +
  encryption". It fails too, whith a message "The swap partition is not
  encrypted....". In fact, I haven't any swap partition and I don't want
  any.

  Then I tried a new manual installation, this time with /dev/sda1=bios-
  grub raw partition , /dev/sda2 = /boot , /dev/sda3 = encrypted /root
  (LUKS ext4). I get the same error message "The swap partition is not
  encrypted....". What is it talking about ?

  Finaly I reached my goal with that third method by booting with "Live USB" method then creating a swap partition, then desactivating it with gparted before starting the installation process from the live desktop.
  Such an adventure... I was just asking for an encrypted installation without swap. Is it so unconventionnal ?
