Public bug reported:
I tried to install 20.04, creating the following custom partition
layout:
nvme0n1 259:0 0 1.9T 0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:3 0 512M 0 part /target/boot/efi
└─nvme0n1p2 259:4 0 1.9T 0 part
└─cryptdata 253:0 0 1.9T 0 crypt
├─vg0-root 253:1 0 1.5T 0 lvm /target
└─vg0-vms 253:2 0 371.2G 0 lvm
Everything proceeded fine until I got a popup window with the message:
Executing 'grub-install /dev/nvme0n1' failed.
This is a fatal error.
In the details part of the main installer window was:
ubuntu grub-installer: grub-install: error: attempting to install to
encrypted disk without cryptodisk enabled. Set
'GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y' in file /etc/default/grub
The default install allows the disk to be encrypted with the default
partition layout, so presumably it knows how to set up grub to work with
encrypted root, and it could be made to be a bit smarter about detecting
when a custom partition layout includes encryption and set up grub
appropriately?
In the meantime, if anyone has any tips on how to get the install to
succeed I'd be very grateful to hear them. :)
