[Bug 1799550] Re: No way to encrypt at partition level (dual boot)

[Xavier Gnata]

Thanks for the answer but I'm not sure I fully understand.

If I do the setup manually the partitioning and launch the installer
once it is done, is there a way to perform the installation on this
encrypted partition without having to chroot the environment and to
create manually crypttab and cryptroot and to tune grub (as explained in
http://blog.botux.fr/en/2015/09/ubuntu-installation-manual-full-disk-
encryption-lvm-on-luks/ ) ?

Title:
  No way to encrypt at partition level (dual boot)

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm using kubuntu alongside with windows in a dual boot, therefore I cannot use the full disk partition option. There is no option in the installer to get an encrypted kubuntu with windows (or any other OS) already installed on the same disk. There used to be an option to encrypt /home (up to 16.10 IIRC) but it does not exist anymore.
  I had to follow and adapt this tutorial http://blog.botux.fr/en/2015/09/ubuntu-installation-manual-full-disk-encryption-lvm-on-luks/ to get my encrypted kubuntu.
  Is it a bug in the installer or a missing (important, as security related) feature?
