I have not heard of any problems with encrypted drives on Ubuntu
18.04, did you ask on, for example, the Ubuntu Users list for help
getting it sorted?
Problem happened on 18.10 after upgrade and reboot. Folks gave
suggestions and it made things worse.
At least I'm back up with my restore from backup.

Not sure who maintains the Wiki for Ubuntu builds, but I had to install

Longer story --
Tried to upgrade to 18.10. Worked until I shut down and powered up the
next morning. Could not mount the home directory (turns out it is
encrypted and the mount got a "bad address"). Trying to roll back to
18.04 compounded the problem (booting off a live USB ISO reported the
disk config was wrong).
I finally gave up and loaded a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 and have spent the
last two days getting things installed and back running. GnuCash was one
of the last ones. I pulled the latest from github (git clone) did a
clean cmake, make, sudo make install but ran into the missing shared
library libboost-regex. After an hour of digging I finally found
reference to libboost-all-dev. That installed a lot of things but cured
the missing shared library.
I think I'll give 18.10 a couple of months to mature some more. I also
un-encrypted the home directory. Thankfully the restore from the daily
backups worked (took a long time).
Wish there was a way to backup the current o/s state and restore/reload
it automatically rather than all that typing I had to do to get items
added back. I'm sure I missed a lot (my favorites are not so crowded
today)!
