Ah I looked at http://www.tecmint.com/install-debian-8-with-luks-encrypted-home-var-lvm-partitions/ and possibly got it to work ... MANUALLY After the warning (see the failure message above) I just do: continue Then I go to Manual and see one line that has /boot (which was set up automatically) and enter into the line with "crypto". The problem might be that no Encryption is set here: it's just blank So I choose: Encryption: aes Key size: 256 IV algorithm: xts-plain64 Encryption key: Passphrase ... (example http://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Encrypted-Partition-Summary-600x450.png ) and then choose "Done setting up the partition" Then I hit "Configure encrypted volumes" http://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Configure-Encrypted-Volumes-600x450.png continuing along until choosing the device marked with "crypto" with the space-bar http://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Select-Partition-To-Encrypt-600x450.png then "Finish" (I skip overwriting with random data, as it will take ages) Then I hit "Configure the Logical Volume Manager" http://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Configure-Logical-Volumes-600x450.png There I create a volume group (I called it vg) selecting the crypt... with space-bar http://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Create-Volume-Group-600x450.png Then I choose "Select Logical Volume" http://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Select-Logical-Volume-600x450.png Here I create 2 logical volumes: one called swap_lv (with 8G) one called main_lv (with remaining space) Then I hit Finish http://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Finish-Partitioning-600x450.png It's still busy installing, but I think it worked.
