Problem solved. To install Ubuntu on encrypted partitions, the usual steps are: 1) boot liveDVD and "try" Ubuntu. 2) manually mount encrypted partitions with a cryptsetup command. 3) Launch the installer.
I've always typed something like this: cryptsetup luksOpen $my_partition WHATEVER It turns out that the "WHATEVER" needs to match what is in /etc/crypttab -- "lvm_crypt" in mine. I've not done this in the past (because I didn't understand), and have been able to install new Ubuntu versions anyway. Now it is necessary to get it right. I think matching those words is all that is needed. Adding 'CRYPTSETUP=y' was not needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1237556 Title: cryptsetup removed from initrd.img on upgrade to 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/1237556/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
