Public bug reported:
Using a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04, the gnome-disks utility offers
users the option of selecting UKS+EXT4 when formatting disks. This
fails with:
Error creating LUKS device: Error spawning command-line `cryptsetup
luksOpen "/dev/sdb" "': Failed to execute child process "cryptsetup" (No
such file or directory) (g-exec-error-quark, 8) (udisks-error-quark, 0)
Installing the cryptsetup package resolves this error.
Suggested resolution:
1) Don't offer LUKS+EXT4 as an option if cryptsetup is not installed
- or -
2) Rather than failing in the current manner, suggest to the user to install
cryptsetup
- or -
3) Include cryptsetup in the base install by default
Additional information:
1) Release of Ubuntu I am using:
Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
