I have installed several systems using the encryption option from the graphical installer. I really need to use the full disk encryption and the installer option seems to be the most straightforward way to achieve this. As far as I remember the manual partitioning did not allow to setup LVM, which in turn was the way to unlock both swap and rootfs by entering a single password.
Having that small /boot seems ridiculous, given that the the device itself is 2 TB. Increasing the boot partition size could work as band- aid solution to make the manual cleanup happen not that often. Or the update tool could automatically try to remove the few oldest kernels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/798414 Title: update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error when there isn't enough free space Status in initramfs-tools: New Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: initramfs-tools When generating a new initramfs there is no check for available free space, subsequently its possible for update-initramfs to fail due to a lack of free space.
