Hi Walter, Lars, Phill and all other Lubuntu users I think we have a working alternative, that should be rather easy to implement for the Alternate Install (Encryption) test-cases (for the i386 as well as the amd64 iso files). @ Walter and Lars: Can we agree to modify the (alternate) test-cases? @ Lars: ... and when agreed, will you edit the alternate test-cases? @ Walter and Lars: The next step will be to design corresponding test-cases for the Lubuntu desktop iso files. _____ See this link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1425681/comments/12 @phillw: Comment #8 'Be interesting to hear the opinions of the server team... Did this used to work?' The Ubuntu server test-case for encryption uses 'only' encrypted disk with LVM, not encrypted home inside it. So this is another indication (alongside the encrypted desktop test-cases), that Lubuntu should do the same thing. @ everybody: Skipping 'encrypted home inside encrypted disk with LVM' makes things much easier to get working. My tests today indicate, that the Lubuntu alternate test-case works with this small modification. We need not even unmount any partition earlier than the installer wants to do it. I just tested that it works with very different original partition tables (GPT and several partitions of various kinds) - the 64-bit alternate Lubuntu Vivid installer works - the 32-bit alternate Lubuntu Vivid installer works I modified the test-case for encryption only at these places: 'No' for encrypted home directory # Changed from 'Yes'. This is the most important modification. 'Yes' unmount mounted partitions in the target drive # Additional item which is important. 'No' to install grub boot loader to master boot record. Instead select the target drive for the bootloader manually. # Changed from 'Yes'. This is optional but I recommend it because the automatic choice often creates problems for me. -o- It is not necessary to enter another text screen and unmount any partition earlier than the installer wants to do it.
