Dear all,
I would like to install Lubuntu 18.04 on an external Solid State Drive.
This works well, but I would like to encrypt the drive as well. When
installing from an USB stick with the live version, at certain point I
have to choose:
* Erase disk and install Ubuntu
o Encrypt the new Lubuntu installation for security
o Use LVM with the new Lubuntu installation
* Something else
When choosing the first option ('Erase disk and install Ubuntu') you can
check the option 'Encrypt ...' .
However, when installing Lubuntu on a USB stick or SSD I am supposed to
choose 'Something else' as far as I understand. However, when choosing
'Something else' the options 'Encrypt ...' and 'Use LVM ... ' are grayed
out, I cannot check them.
My question: is there a trick that make it possible to create a
*bootable and encrypted* SSD (or USB drive)?
Best,
Wilbert
Hi Wilbert,
If you remove the other (internal) drives, the SSD will be the default
target, and you can use the options
* Erase disk and install Ubuntu
o Encrypt the new Lubuntu installation for security
o Use LVM with the new Lubuntu installation
and get an encrypted SSD 'disk'.
