Install problems: Encrypted LVM Lubuntu install on USB hard drive

[Nio Wiklund]

Hi Tom,

Which version of Lubuntu are you trying to install? I have been testing
the iso files prior to release, and Encrypted disk (with LVM) works for
me according to this testcase (for the Lubuntu alternate installer)

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/347/builds/105064/testcases/1660/results

If you want encrypted home, you should try the newest version 15.10. At
least some older versions have problems due to problems with cryptswap.
I think you are affected by that bug.

Best regards
Nio
