Nio and list - Problems remain: 2015.11.07:1100 - ISO burned, won't boot
Details: *file:* lubuntu-15.10-alternate-i386.iso *md5sum* [from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/15.10/release/MD5SUMS]: d88846ba3a7493cc4b792680c43ad8ef *lubuntu-15.10-alternate-i386.iso *md5sum check:* tomc@LDT:~/software_archive$ md5sum lubuntu-15.10-alternate-i386.iso d88846ba3a7493cc4b792680c43ad8ef lubuntu-15.10-alternate-i386.iso tomc@LDT:~/software_archive$ *result:* boot attempt on both my netbook and desktop led to flashing cursor on blank screen; no other response observed. The install process went fine. No issues. But then the disk just would not boot. Disappointing. I'm retrying this, using the 15.10 desktop version.

I have been testing the iso files prior to release, and Encrypted disk (with LVM) works for me according to this testcase (for the Lubuntu alternate installer) http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/347/builds/105064/testcases/1660/results If you want encrypted home, you should try the newest version 15.10. At least some older versions have problems due to problems with cryptswap. I think you are affected by that bug.

I'm sorry to have to report that all my attempts to install an encrypted Lubuntu OS to a USB hard drive have failed. I won't even try to catalog the hills and valleys I've gone through trying to get the installation procedure to work. I have to conclude that it simply has not been adequately tested. No matter what error I work my way through, another one pops up. I have to cut my time losses and abandon the effort. One thing that certainly needs to be fixed is this: once the install to the USB drive actually starts, and before it throws up whatever error it's cooked up this time, there is a complaint about the existence of an unencrypted swap, and a request that I run "swapoff". I then have to blow off the install process, get back to a command line to run swapoff, then restart the whole process. This is plain stupid. That workflow just makes no sense. Is there any way to do this install without using the normal installation procedure? A way that actually might work? Thanks for any help offered. Tom
