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

[Xavier Gnata]

No progress on this issue in 20.04 beta :(
There is still no way to install an encrypted kubuntu in dual boot without having to deal with the command line. That’s a no go for many users.
I’m  not even asking for full encryption.  The kubuntu installer should at least be able to install an encrypted kubuntu (even with a non encrypted /boot…) alongside windows on the same disk.

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?
