[Bug 1750645] Re: support encrypted block devices
I just find it incredible that even despite this bug being open, there was this official announcement late last year that the d-i installer will be completely phased out in favor of 'subiquity' starting with the focal release. I have been using d-i based mini.iso for my VPS setups that involve pre- existing luks-encrypted partition hosting lvm volumes. Upon realizing d-i would not be an option anymore, I decided to give subiquity a try using focal daily builds (pre-beta). Not only did it fail miserably, it's probably the worst thing that I've ever seen and I've been involved with linux for more than 20 years now. I just can't imagine someone would include this the installer in a production LTS release, let alone dropping support for the tried-and-tested d-i installer. Fortunately, it seems common sense prevailed and when the focal beta was released earlier this month, I found the traditional d-i images (along with netboot & mini.iso) in addition to the useless live-server image. It's sad that eventually subiquity would be the only option available, I just hope that it is half as functional as the d-i installer when that happens. At least I'm good for now as far as the Focal release is concerned. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750645 Title: support encrypted block devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1750645/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Since no later than 18.04.3 the installer offers to encrypt an LVM which is configured during manual partitioning. I assume this solves this bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750645 Title: support encrypted block devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1750645/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1750645] Re: support encrypted block devices
ccooke: As another Ubuntu user, I think I can answer this: Please check the top of this bug report, where you will see two affected projects: "Subiquity" and "Subiquity (Ubuntu)". The former is the 'upstream project', or the 'original software', the latter its integration into Ubuntu. While Subiquity does seem to be an Ubuntu centric software development effort (at this time), its development is still tracked separately. I assume that "Subiquity (Ubuntu)" will retain its current status of "(bug is) confirmed" until the next Subiquity based server installer Ubuntu releases - which will either be the next 18.04 LTS point release (18.04.3, currently scheduled for August 01, 2019 as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseSchedule) or Ubuntu 19.10 (currently scheduled for October 17, 2019). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750645 Title: support encrypted block devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1750645/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Why is this marked as 'Fix Released'? I've just tried installing 18.04.2 from the Subiquity installer - there is still no way to add encryption. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750645 Title: support encrypted block devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1750645/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
