I am very interested in getting this bug fixed in time for Oneiric. Would it be possible to get this added as an Oneiric before the Feature Definition Freeze on May 26?
I work for the Electronic Frontier Foundation and I recently wrote a blog post about this asking people to vote for this in Ubuntu Brainstorm: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/05/help-bring-disk-encryption-ubuntu-live-cd http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/24712/ It has received hundreds of new votes in just the last couple of days. Windows 7 comes with BitLocker full disk encryption out of the box. The new version of Mac OS X coming out, Lion, is updating FileVault to do full disk encryption out of the box (instead of just home dir encryption that's available in Snow Leopard). Ubuntu really should offer this as well, and make it easy. Ubuntu is in danger of falling behind the two major proprietary operating systems in this important security and privacy feature. There is also an Ubuntu Forums thread about it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10792967 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245399 Title: Desktop installer should have an encrypted LVM option -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
