Please change this bug from gedit to the correct package.

A USB key encrypted with the Disks utility always pops up a password
input window upon insertion into systems with an encrypted home
directory.
This is no longer the case. Note that fully encrypted system
installation was used for this OS (Ubuntu 18.04 beta) because encrypted
home directory was not offered by the installation DVD (Bug #1756600).
However, launching file manager does show an encrypted drive is
available for mounting and opening.
When clicking on the USB key in file manager to mount and open the
drive, the expected password input window appears.
Unfortunately, entering the password produces the following error (see
attached screenshot): Error unlocking /dev/sdb1: The function
'bd_cryto_luks_open_blob' called, but not implemented!
In Ubuntu 16.04 with encrypted home directory, the drive opens like a
charm in file manager after password input.
