Public bug reported: In today's world, especially with the likes of the EU's GDPR and the many security fails, Ubuntu installer needs to support full-system encryption out of the box.
This means encrypting not only /home but also both root and /boot. The only parts of the system that wouldn't be encrypted are the EFI partition and the initial Grub bootloader, for obvious reasons. Using LUKS and LVM, it is already possible... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManualFullSystemEncryption ... but with one major limitation: Grub is incorrectly changed after an update affecting the kernel or Grub, so that a manual Grub update is required each time this happens (this is fully covered in the linked instructions). If the incorrect Grub change is fixed, it should be (relatively) simple to support full-system encryption in the installer. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: encryption installer luks -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773457 Title: Full-system encryption needs to be supported out-of-the-box To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1773457/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
