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

[Xavier Gnata]

I might work with the ubuntu installer 20.10 (to be confirmed) but it does not work with the kubuntu installer. By 'it does not work' I mean 'the option is not given'.
One has to create the LUKS, open it, then launch the installer and eventually use chroot to make it work.

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

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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?
