Dear all,<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br></span>
* Erase disk and install Ubuntu<br>
o Encrypt the new Lubuntu installation for security<br>
o Use LVM with the new Lubuntu installation<br>
* Something else<span class=""><br>
<br>
<br>
When choosing the first option ('Erase disk and install Ubuntu') you can check the option 'Encrypt ...' .<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br></span>
My question: is there a trick that make it possible to create a *bootable and encrypted* SSD (or USB drive)?<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Wilbert<br>

Hi Wilbert,<br>
<br>
If you remove the other (internal) drives, the SSD will be the default target, and you can use the options<br>
<br>
* Erase disk and install Ubuntu<br>
o Encrypt the new Lubuntu installation for security<br>
o Use LVM with the new Lubuntu installation<br>
<br>
and get an encrypted SSD 'disk'.<br>
<br>
