Looks like the 'crypt' processes are ok; so i am thinking to do a fresh bionic install when it will be released, as ubiquity seems the one to blame.

So after doing the formatage (classic: / as ext4, swap, /home as ext4), i've set a bionic iso installation. Ubiquity then have proposed to set an encrypted swap dir, which i have accepted, and then smootly terminated the installation. Booting with that new install, i hit a cryptswap1 timeout after beeing frozen around 1 minute. oem@ubuntu:~$ journalctl | grep cryptswap systemd[1]: Starting Cryptography Setup for cryptswap2... systemd[1]: Started Cryptography Setup for cryptswap2. systemd[1]: Found device /dev/mapper/cryptswap2. systemd[1]: Activating swap /dev/mapper/cryptswap2... kernel: Adding 10584572k swap on /dev/mapper/cryptswap2.
