I still hope that this bug report will eventually receive some attention from the Kubuntu devs.
But in the meantime, for those who want to create, and install into, LUKS encrypted volumes during manual disk setup (as opposed to using the default full disk encryption option), installing Ubuntu server first, and then adding KDE packages later, is one potential workaround, as described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/6wty79/a_recipe_for_installing_a_minimal_lightweight_kde/ And here: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/6wty79/a_recipe_for_installing_a_minimal_lightweight_kde/dmbgsne/?context=3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510731 Title: Bug in ubiquity-frontend-kde: Can't create LUKS encrypted volumes during manual disk setup in Kubuntu 17.10 (does not affect Ubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, or Ubuntu Budgie) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1510731/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
