I am trying to perform whole disk encryption on a drive with multiple partitions using Ubiquity installer on Ubuntu-14.04. Right now I am experimenting with enctypting a VirtualBox VM to try it out.

I followed the instructions provided by http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2014/01/16/manual-full-disk-encryption-setup-guide-for-ubuntu-13-10-linux-mint-16/, and was able to create the crypto partitions as described. However, when I finished and pushed the "Install Now" button, I get an error dialog box coverd with multiple "?" and clicking on it causing the installer to go back to the disk setup screen. Other attempts resulted in an error box that stating that the Installer crashed.

Does whole disk encryption really work with Ubuntu or is the 14.04 installer encryption simply broken?
