Public bug reported: (I suppose this comes too late in the release cycle to make the change, but perhaps it's simple enough:)
With only minimal manual intervention, I found I could use today's Ubuntu Server 12.10 daily iso to install a system with luks+lvm and no separate /boot partition (which doesn't really have any security advantages, but it makes managing space on a smallish disk easier). If partman-crypto could manage the final 2 steps below, it would all be fully automatic. Thanks! Steps: 1: go through the default installer motions 2: in partman, choose the manual option 3: create a single, whole-disk primary partition, use it as a luks encrypted volume 4: on top of that, create an lvm physical volume 5: insert lvm logical volumes for swap and / (I used btrfs, probably irrelevant) 6: finish remaining installer steps; find that grub install fails 7: drop into shell, per alt+f2, and chroot to /target 8: append "GRUB_CRYPTODISK_ENABLE=y" to /etc/default/grub 9: run "grub-install /dev/sda" (replace sda etc etc), then "update-grub", reboot ** Affects: partman-crypto (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1062623 Title: enable grub-2.00 luks support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-crypto/+bug/1062623/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
