[Bug 1492710] Re: [Autopilot Tests] Encrypted LVM install test failing due to swap being on

I tried an LVM encrypted installation over a blank disk and didn't see this dialog.
In which conditions is it displayed? Is it during an installation over a pre-existing installation with an existing swap?

Title:
  [Autopilot Tests] Encrypted LVM install test failing due to swap being
  on

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The test is failing due to a warning dialog popping up saying
  unencrypted data could potentially end up in the swap space and a
  suggestion is given to run swapoff before continuing the install.

  What should we do here? We can either:

  1) start the test run with swap disabled (not ideal) 
  2) try and test the dialog and it's contents follow it's advice and turn swapoff using a subprocess and try and continue with the install (alot more work).

  I would edge towards the 2nd solution.

  Thoughts anyone?
