[Bug 1311551] [NEW] Installer crashes at partioning stage (Lubuntu 14.04)

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Public bug reported:

When installing Lubuntu 14.04 I chosein the partitioning screen the options
* Clear hard drive and install Lubuntu
* Uncrypt hard drive (and thus also LVM was auto-selected)

I the next screen I set the encryption password.

After that there came a error message that a unencrypted swap is used,
and that I should manually run 'swapoff'. (Normal users probably don't
know how to do it, why can't the installer simply just run swapoff
directly?)

After clicking OK there was a crash report and following the Apport
dialogs this bug report was automatically opened.

PS. The "bug reporting guidelines" below say that I should attach two
log files, syslog and /var/log/installer/partman. However the path to
partman is /var/log/partman. Also there is zero attachment fields
available until I understood to click the "Extra into" button below. And
after that there was only one attachmend field, so I have now attached
the partman log.
