View Full Version : Dual-boot TrueCrypt Windows with LVM/LUKS Encrypted Ubuntu 13.10?

Has anyone worked out how to install Ubuntu 13.10 on LVM encrypted with LUKS alongside a previously installed TrueCrypt-encrypted Windows, same HDD?

I previously was able to get this same setup working using Xubuntu 12.04 LTS with TrueCrypt-encrypted Windows 7.
However, the Xubuntu 12.04 came with an alternative installer that allowed for easily configuring the LVM and LUKS at the same time as installing the linux OS. The alternative installer is no longer available with 13.10, so now it is necessary to set up the LVM and LUKS as a separate step before installing Ubuntu. I don't understand how to bridge those steps.

(I posted a somewhat similar question in the Absolute Beginners forum the other day but no one responded. I am posting here now in case someone who knows how to do this follows this forum but not the other forum.)
