There is an existing problem at the default installer side: some users would get the "Unsafe swap space detected" issue during full disk encryption.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/393418/unsafe-swap-space-detected Using alternate ISO seems to be a solution to this issue. However, it would be better if this issue is resolved. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1241833 Bryan 07.03.2015, 22:01, "Nio Wiklund" <[email protected]>: > Hi again, > > This link at Arch Linux discusses different aspects of encryption in > computers, disk encryption and data encryption (with the special case > home encryption). > > https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/disk_encryption > > My conclusion after reading that link is that 'Encrypted disk' is better > than 'Encrypted home', so we need not push very hard to revive > 'Encrypted home'. > > Please speak up if you do not agree! > > Best regards > Nio > > Den 2015-03-04 17:57, Walter Lapchynski skrev: >> I'd say if Ubuntu in general considers it an edge case, it probably is. >> >> @wxl >> Lubuntu Release Manager, Head of QA >> Ubuntu PPC Point of Contact >> Ubuntu Oregon Team Leader >> >> On Mar 4, 2015 8:54 AM, "Nio Wiklund" <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> Hi again, >> >> I want to add: >> >> 1.
