Dimitri, I have just found time to do another test: Ubiquity does need to be patched too.
Steps to reproduce the problem: - boot an ubuntu gnome 17.04 beta 1 live cd - before launching ubiquity, manually modify /usr/bin/ecryptfs-setup-swap like in the pacth I posted here - launch ubiquity and select the encrytpted home folder option - after installation, at boot the system hangs a couple of minutes because it cannot manage to activate swap - log in, open a terminal and type "cat /etc/crypttab", you get: cryptswap1 /target/swapfile /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64 I guess that Ubiquity does not run ecryptfs-setup-swap as chroot as it should. When dealing with swap partitions/UUIDs probably this is not a problem, but when using swap files it is. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670336 Title: Ubiquity problem with encrypted home option: system hangs because of ecryptfs-setup-swap not working with swapfiles To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/1670336/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
