[Bug 1168115] Re: Ubiquity does not support LUKS in manual partitioning mode
Still a problem in 19.04. Made a /boot and / but / was on top of an encrypted LUKS partition. One time, the system installed but never asked for a password on boot. So I tried again and it wouldn't even install. IF this actually works, it's very fragile and I've yet to see it work. On top of that, even if you don't use your own premade LUKS partition and try using the one in the GUI installer, it never asks for a password or options. So it never gathers enough data to even have a chance of success. And honestly, saying "There is not enough information here to understand or reproduce the problem." ... did you try? Because it's pretty simple to do so and see the gaping holes where it doesn't even come close to working. I appreciate you want more info, but at some point you have to try it yourself and I think if you give it any effort you'd see multiple issues. My guess is that no one has even tested it internally yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1168115 Title: Ubiquity does not support LUKS in manual partitioning mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1168115/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1168115] Re: Ubiquity does not support LUKS in manual partitioning mode
Hi Nicolas, nice script. I believe that this is a sorely missing feature in the installer. It definitely should be part of the installer that you can configure LVM on top of a LUKS encrypted partition. At the moment it is not possible to select LVM on an LUKS encrypted device. In the past I always did this setup manually to work around this sad fact, now I might take your script with a small tweak - a different name for the LUKS device: rename os -> _crypt that makes it more clear that you have an encrypted device in front of you and reduces the danger of accidentally trashing it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1168115 Title: Ubiquity does not support LUKS in manual partitioning mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1168115/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1168115] Re: Ubiquity does not support LUKS in manual partitioning mode
I don't know what version of Ubuntu I was installing when I first attempted manual partitioning with LUKS (manually configured), but I know I've run into this issue with at least 14.04 and 18.04. At the time that I first had an issue with it, I poked around until I found out what the problem was and fixed it manually during installation time. Since then, I recently put together (a script)[https://github.com/nbros652 /LUKS-guided-manual-partitioning] that enables semi-manual partitioning with LUKS. The goal of my script is not to cover all use cases, but to make it possible to do manual paritioning with LVM and LUKS. If you know how to set up logical volumes, it's not difficult to add more partitions manually. What my script does is configure the boot, EFI (if necessary), LUKS and LVM (swap and home) partitions with a few prompts for information from the user. Then it waits for the user to perform installation on the configured partitions. Once installation is completely my script finishes everything off by remounting the system, generating the /etc/crypttab file, chrooting into the installed system and updating the initramfs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1168115 Title: Ubiquity does not support LUKS in manual partitioning mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1168115/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
