[Bug 1168115] Re: Ubiquity does not support LUKS in manual partitioning mode

[Michael Neuffer]

Hi Nicolas,

nice script.
I believe that this is a sorely missing feature in the installer.
It definitely should be part of the installer that you can configure LVM on top of a LUKS encrypted partition. At the moment it is not possible to select LVM on an LUKS encrypted device.

In the past I always did this setup manually to work around this sad
fact, now I might take your script with a small tweak

- a different name for the LUKS device: rename os -> <devicename>_crypt
that makes it more clear that you have an encrypted device in front of you and reduces the danger of accidentally trashing it.

Title:
  Ubiquity does not support LUKS in manual partitioning mode

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  After installing (daily build) into an existing lvm, no crypttab was
  generated in /etc/

  after installing oneiric versions of cryptsetup it appeared - upgrading to rarings cryptsetup version didn't delete the file and made it usable.
  Installing previous Versions in raring itself didn't bring me the crypttab file, so I guess this is not a daily build problem.
  Couldn't find any info about crypttab being deprecated

  Thank you
