Since it's not a problem in Qubes itself, but in anaconda (please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1020345 as linked by https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1161) and since it has been closed as wontfix with the dry statement "LUKS configuration is not available in text mode", I see it highly unlikely that it will be ever fixed.
The bug in Qubes tracker may itself be considered closed once the text mode setup will be disabled and a feature request is opened for a text mode setup, which will get a very low priority and hang on indefinitely because of the impossibility of setting up LUKS in text mode. Some project managers may prefer having a pending feature request than having a pending bug. As a side remark, please note that installing qubes in a VM is obviously and clearly stated as unsupported and most likely will produce bug chains like the one you are encountering, which should originate with the inability to load the "vboxvideo" X driver (thus the text mode install attempt, that fails on LUKS). Please test Qubes on a spare physical PC: it also makes very little sense to try to use it as a production OS in a virtualized environment. If you need a virtualization host OS you can try the free ESXi, Proxmox or other alternatives to those. -- Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
