Public bug reported:
Existing partition setup:
- /dev/sda1 - EFI
- /dev/sda2 - LUKS encrypted volume for LVM PV
Within encrypted LVM PV:
- vg/ubuntu-root - Root volume for Ubuntu (already exists)
- vg/ubuntu-home - Home volume for Ubuntu (already exists)
Partition options selected during installation:
- /dev/sda1 - Use as EFI partition
- /dev/vg/ubuntu-root - Format as ext4, mount at /
- /dev/vg/ubuntu-home - Format as ext4, mount at /home
For Ubiquity to detect the LVM volumes at all, I first had to open the
encrypted partition manually with: `sudo cryptsetup open /dev/sda2
crypt`. After that, the installation proceeded as normal until it got to
the grub installation step and failed. It seems to be because /boot is
encrypted in my setup and that requires `GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y` to be
set in `/etc/default/grub`.
