[Bug 539324] Re: Setting up swap fails when setting lvm+encryption
I'm encountering this same issue with the 10.10 Alternate installer (amd64). In my case, I'm trying to install to existing encrypted lvms on an existing RAID5. The installer can't seem to handle the RAID either ( I have to assemble myself from the shell). It also fails to unlock ( I have to do it via cryptsetup from the shell). However, I can install via the no-swap workaround described above just fine...so no issues with the RAID or crypt once I unlock them manuallyjust something about mounting that swap apparently -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539324 Title: Setting up swap fails when setting lvm+encryption -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

James, your description doesn't really match the original description of this bug, so it may not be the same thing. However, of course it's possible that my fix will cover your problem as well. I'd encourage you to test beta-2 once released, and if you're still having problems please file a new bug with as much detail as you can rather than following up to any existing bug.

This bug was fixed in the package partman-base - 139ubuntu3 --- partman-base (139ubuntu3) lucid; urgency=low * parted 2.1 changed the semantics of ped_disk_clobber: it now zeroes out the first few and last few sectors of the disk, regardless of whether there appears to be a valid partition table on it. Unfortunately, this means that creating a filesystem on a whole disk device and then calling ped_disk_commit_to_dev zeroes the filesystem header we just created. To avoid this, call ped_disk_commit_to_dev only if the partition doesn't start at sector zero (LP: #539324, #549260). -- Colin WatsonMon, 29 Mar 2010 21:55:02 +0100 ** Changed in: partman-base (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- Setting up swap fails when setting lvm+encryption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 539324] Re: Setting up swap fails when setting lvm+encryption
Hi, I've been trying to install Lucid Server 64bit Beta 1 with the following config: 8Gb usb flash --> ext4 on /boot 3 x 500gb SATA --> RAID5 --> lvm --> ext4 on / & 8G swap. The install would lock the machine completely after finishing creating the ext4 filesystem on vg_main, lv_root. I can confirm that not assigning the swap and leaving it as "do not use" works and the machine goes on to continue the install procedure.

[Bug 539324] Re: Setting up swap fails when setting lvm+encryption
Another workaround similar to Sebasitan's is to choose "Yes" when you get the error message to go back to the summary screen. Select the swap partition, hit Enter to modify it, choose "swap" as the type and hit Enter again. Then scroll down and select "Finish" to complete the installation. It seems to complete successfully after that without the necessity of manually setting up the swap partition after the first boot. The swap partition does appear in /etc/fstab. -- Setting up swap fails when setting lvm+encryption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 539324] Re: Setting up swap fails when setting lvm+encryption
I managed to work around this bug by letting the installer set up full-disk encryption as usual. When the error message came, I chose "Yes" to display the partitioning scheme already created by the installer. Here I changed the type of the swap partition from "swap" to "do not use". The installation completed successfully after that. Then, right after first booting into the new system, I manually turned the unused partition (named /dev//swap_1) into a proper swap partition by following these instructions: http://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8208-all-about-linux- swap-space Entering two commands (mkswap, swapon) at the terminal, adding the swap partition to /etc/fstab and testing the whole thing by rebooting the computer took just a couple of minutes. -- Setting up swap fails when setting lvm+encryption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
