Any updates on this? This is really critical in my opinion. My user
case:
- I work in a large, 1st rank university.
- Unfortunately, moronic administration decides that the default system
is mac, or if specific programs needed Windows, for laptops (we have
RedHat desktop PCs though).
- However, our IT has a tradition of allowing people to drift their own
laptops, and they used to say yes to letting us be roots and buying what
we wanted to dual boot Windows / Ubuntu. We do need windows in my group,
so the only option is dual boot Windows / Ubuntu.
- Since the option to have encrypted Ubuntu at installation side by side
with Windows in just one click has disappeared, we have had an epidemic
of people techies enough to use Ubuntu, but not techies enough to
understand / care about encryption etc, installing non-encrypted Ubuntu
on the side of windows. IT has learnt about it, and was furious (this is
a violation of the IT agreement we sign together with our work contract
since it is a clear security breach), and has now forbidden people to
install ubuntu / drift university laptops on their own.
- This means that we more or less cannot use Ubuntu any more until the
one click encryption side-by-side with windows is back, and IT gets cool
again. Really annoying. People either need to buy a separate laptop, and
/ or stop having ubuntu and move to mac.
