Well yes fine to hear that Tynach has fixed his similar problem but he was not the bug reporter so it makes no sense to make this report invalid when he fixes his issue which is not completely the same then mine isn't it?!
The problem still exists and there is no fix or workaround known for this problem. I have only 1 hdd in my system so the workaround(!) of Tynach ( <-- yes it is a workaround to do grub-install manually because of the Ubuntu installer fails... ) does not work for me. I have done grub-installation also manually (including mounting /boot manually too) to get the system working but this is not a fix or whatever. Ubuntu should fix that in order to get a working system without deep Linux Knowhow or doing things like grub installation manually - If I want that I would choose another distro. The whole thing works very fine until and including Ubuntu 11.10. It stops working this way in 12.04. I do not believe that this a very special setup doing a full disk encryption with a manual partition layout and again it had worked before precise. Even if I repeat myself but even if I have done that grub installation manually I still encounter problems because the line "insmod lvm" is missing in the grub.cfg and I had to copy the cryptroot scripts by hand to the initrd dirs in order to decrypt my hdd when starting. That is a major and very ugly problem. I'm an Ubuntu user since 6 years now and was always happy with it but because of that problem I was thinking for about 10s to switch to another distro (I do that again because of this bug handling btw). Maybe the time of Ubuntu is over for advanced users using disk encryption or doing manual partition layouts on lvm - I don't know. Sorry for the hard words but there is a lot of emotion within my relationship to Ubuntu because I like(d) it so much. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000927 Title: 12.04 new install or update: if LVM + full encrypted disk grub installation fails!
