I'm not sure if this is related, but... I get:
“Creating ext4 system for /home in partition #1 of Encrypted volume (sda3_crypt)...” and then my installation hangs forever, when I: 1) create partitions using gparted (onto a non-UEFI system with a gpt formatted drive) prior to attempting to install Ubuntu 15.10 or 16.04; 2) then use the “something else” option presented by the Ubuntu 15.10 or 16.04 installer to create LUKS-encrypted volumes on sda2 and sda3; and 3) then attempt to install boot (/boot) into non-encrypted sda1, root (/) into LUKS-encrypted sda2, and home (/home) into LUKS-encrypted sda3. The above is reproducible 100% of the time on every computer that I own as well as on virtualbox and QEMU/KVM. However, my installation completes just fine when I: 1) create partitions using gparted (onto a non-UEFI system with a gpt formatted drive) prior to attempting to install Ubuntu 15.10 or 16.04; 2) then use the “something else” option presented by the Ubuntu 15.10 or 16.04 installer to create one LUKS-encrypted volume on sda2; and 3) then install boot (/boot) into non-encrypted sda1, and root (/) into LUKS-encrypted sda2. That is, at least for me, attempting to install into home (/home) into a separate LUKS-encrypted volume results in the error. NOTE: In neither of the above situations do I attempt to create a swap volume. Rather, I skip creating a swap partition in both, otherwise installation will hang for another reason. In the second of the two situations, after the initial installation has completed, I either create a swap file in sda2 or create a separate LUKS-encrypted swap volume.
