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

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

You can create the partitioning to use /boot on a separate partition,
and / on an encrypted disk with LVM (the installer gives you various
options for what to use a partition with). It's the same story as that
blog post, but using the graphical options.

Using the blog posts' commands possibly only has the benefit that you're
sure the options you want are enabled, because you did it on the
command-line, explicitly.

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?
