Yes, that is exactly the same issue. And note the author said: I noticed the "Cancel" button after a few hours, but because I was unsure of what exactly it would cancel, and whether it was a required or optional step of the process, I opted not to risk wasting all the time already invested and didn't cancel anything. If one does not know what exactly the thing is doing, and what the consequences of hitting cancel might be, I (for one) would not be inclined to risk losing hours of install time hitting cancel and then having to start all over again. Of course, I know different now, but the average user who does this on a big drive for the first time will not.

Hi, [...] It took more then 24 hours for the encryption process to go through and wipe the drive. (At least that is what I think it was doing.) Minimum there should be a warning about this, and ideally it would be nice to skip it with the option of doing it manually (for non-root partitions) later. hitting cancel while the partition it's being wiped, skips the exhaustive wipe and jumps to the next step of the installation. BTW, this suggestion seems to be the same as in #678015. -- Melhores cumprimentos/Best regards, Miguel Figueiredo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

However, I find the 10G root partition a little small for a desktop machine, and ideally I would like to dip into manual mode and tweak that a bit bigger. However, I find manual mode extremely obtuse, and just didn't bother this last time. I also did this install on a 500G drive. It took more then 24 hours for the encryption process to go through and wipe the drive. (At least that is what I think it was doing.) Minimum there should be a warning about this, and ideally it would be nice to skip it with the option of doing it manually (for non-root partitions) later. This is a personal laptop, and I am not guarding military secrets. ;-) 24 hours seems to be a bit much. -- Please make sure that the hardware-summary log file, and any other installation logs that you think would be useful are attached to this report.
