Hi Walter, Maybe there is a misunderstanding. Please start by reading the following link https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/disk_encryption Summary: 'Encrypted disk with LVM' is considered better than 'Encrypted home'. 'Encrypted disk with LVM' works for us, while 'Encrypted home' does not work. Maybe we need not to make 'Encrypted home' work again. 1. Alternate installer 'Encrypted disk with LVM' works according to our new test-case for the alternate installer. No preparation is necessary before or after the installer. 2. Desktop installer 'Encrypted disk with LVM' works according to a proposed test-case for the desktop installer. One single preparation step is necessary before starting the installer: sudo swapoff -a The user might feel better if this step is surrounded by checking active swap before and after swapoff: swapon -s sudo swapoff -a swapon -s After this preparation, the normal procedure (borrowed from the test-case of Ubuntu desktop) will work. This problem is *not* discussed in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuDesktopLVM and it is a bug, that should be reasonably easy to squash: Make the installer accept zRAM! 3. Encrypted home But 'Encrypted home' alias ecryptfs is buggy and hard to install. It is affected by more than one bug. A major problem is cryptswap, to make it survive reboots. Another problem is that it seems hard to make it work without wiping the drive (a clean first megabyte except an MSDOS partition table (no partitions)). These bugs really need to be squashed to make 'Encrypted home' work well again.
