Public bug reported:
Hi,
I was just trying to install Kubuntu 24.04 (which comes with Calamares)
on a Notebook with a brand new 1TB nvme SSD (all zeroed out).
Choosing the automatic/guided installation works well, including the
choice for encrypting the disk. But then, the whole disk is one ext4
partition, which doesn't work well with some applications (e.g. some
operations of LXD are extremely slow on ext4), and for some reasons I do
need ZFS on a partition of the disk.
I therefore chose manual partition, and created
- GPT partition table
- 300 MB FAT32, marked as bootable and mounted to /boot/efi (Calamares does not
offer an EFI flag)
- 4GiB ext4, mounted to /boot
- Rest of the disk: LUKS2
And then there is no option to put any kind of partition into the luks
partition.
You can't press "Next" either.
The only option is to create a new volume group (what I wanted to do
anyways). But there, no physical volume is available to put the volume
group in.
Calamares does not seem to recognize LUKS2 to contain a new partition
inside. It does not even ask for a password, and it looks as if luks is
just a menu entry that has never been implemented.
So it is actually not possible to partition the machine in the way I
need it (encrypted LVM, one lv ext4 for the OS, one lv for ZFS)
Not really good for an LTS release.
