Ubuntu installer failed to setup partitioning with encrypted volumes

[mathieu-tarral]

Hi,

I attempted to install Ubuntu 19.04 today, but it failed several times, at different stages:

First I had the "An unsafe swap space has been detected" issue, I had to manually remove the swap partition, otherwise the installer would complain.
Apparently this is a bug from 2013, still not fixed today (!!!!)

The I had an config error, "Configuration of encrypted volumes failed" I rebooted to get a clean state and started the installer again.

Then I'm now blocked at "The attempt to mount a file system ..." which prevents me from finally installing Ubuntu.

see the attachments.

The installer seems like it is full of bugs when dealing with encrypted volumes !

Can you help me install Ubuntu with encrypted volume please ? (and how to report these bugs so they can actually get fixed)

Thanks

do you have any data on that computer that you need to keep? if yes, did you make a backup of it?

Hi,

thanks for your replies.

About the Full Disk Encryption guide.
I notice 2 issues while following the guide:
- I have to download a user made script, from a Dropbox, as sudo
- it requires to use an internet connection, which I don't necessarly have

"You must be connected to the internet. This installation will fail if you are not.
Fill in the prompts as follows."

Basically I would like to put my trust in Ubuntu's official installer, and fix bugs upstreams if possible.



Yes, I made a backup of my home's data, fortunately.

I have more information about the last error I have, "The attempt to mount ..."

I took a look at journalctl, and this is what I got:
