[lubuntu-users] how to create a bootable and encrypted external SDD (or USB)

[Wilbert Heeringa]

Dear all,

I would like to install Lubuntu 18.04 on an external Solid State Drive.
This works well, but I would like to encrypt the drive as well. When
installing from an USB stick with the live version, at certain point I have
to choose:

   - Erase disk and install Ubuntu
      - Encrypt the new Lubuntu installation for security
      - Use LVM with the new Lubuntu installation
   - Something else


When choosing the first option ('Erase disk and install Ubuntu') you can
check the option 'Encrypt ...' .

However, when installing Lubuntu on a USB stick or SSD I am supposed to
choose 'Something else' as far as I understand. However, when choosing
'Something else' the options 'Encrypt ...' and 'Use LVM ... ' are grayed
out, I cannot check them.

My question: is there a trick that make it possible to create a *bootable
and encrypted* SSD (or USB drive)?

Best,
Wilbert
