I retried now with https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/11.3.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-dvd/firmware-11.3.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso to reinstall that laptop again. When choosing "encrypted LVM option" -> "using single partition" (so no extra /home etc.) I end up with the following partitions: Partition 1 at /dev/nvme0n1 as ESP Partition 2 at /dev/nvme0n1 as ext2
Partition 2 is the mandatory unencrypted /boot. There should also be an encrypted partition.
There is definitely no swap partition created.
Of course not. "Guided with LVM" options create a swap LVM logical volume, not a swap partition.
I now switched to manual mode deleted partition 2 created partition 3 as swap (64GB) and the remaining 1.9 TB as crypto partition 4. This manual installation is also not really smooth. First I installed swap without encryption. This was rejected by the installer.
The installer requires that the swap be encrypted if / is encrypted. IMO it is easier to use LVM inside a single encrypted volume.
Then I tried with encryption. In the partition step it says now Der Versuch, ein Dateisystem vom Typ swap auf Verschlüsseltes Volume (nvme0n1p3_crypt) als none einzubinden, ist fehlgeschlagen. which translates somehow to The attempt to mount filesystem of type swap on encrypted volume (nvme0n1p3_crypt) failed.
You can see details about the error in the log console (tty4) or in /var/log/syslog from tty2 or tty3.
