I'm not sure what happened. I did a third install (on the same machine) from the same usb stick and was asked the normal questions. I will try to make it happen again. History: First install with all metas. Install failed because of av lib conflicts. Second install less keyboard setup questions... maybe the disk is checked and the fact that it was after a failed install meant it kept some of the data. Install did not include audio-common and so was successful. Third install got all the normal questions (no data remembered from before). Selected both encrypted partition and encrypted home directory. Did not include audio-common as i wanted what I knew worked. I was not testing audio install but encrypted. Install was ok. On boot I was asked for passkey. On home directory read with file manager I was asked for passkey. On shutdown swap was wiped. Tried mounting drive from normal boot. I can see two partitions, the first (1/4gig) had the boot stuff in it (grub, kernel and initrd) The rest must have had the file system and the swap in it. I was unable to access it. When I tried it asked for the passkey but had an error because my normal drive doesn't have the software to deal with it (I wold guess... thats what the err msg seemed to indicate). I don't see that there is any problem installing encrypted version for testing. The nice thing about unencrypted is that I can read and quote from the log file easily if there are failures. I did not use a strong passkey as I just wanted to see if it worked... I wanted something I could remember (equals less secure). My machine speed was not noticeably affected... the desk seemed to run about the same speed. I didn't have any audio stuff in there and this machine doesn't have great audio anyway. So I didn't test tracking lots of tracks. The install was not much longer either just the extra few steps setting up partitions. Not near as bad as waiting for the net connected apt configuration. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
