[EN] Full disk encryption using graphical installer
« on: 2020/02/07, 15:38:14 »

Hi,

I'm trying to install Siduction with full disk encryption (required by my job).  I used the latest (current) release siduction 18.3.0 patience xfce.  I used the graphical installer to create a /boot/efi partition, a large root partition which I marked as encrypted, and a swap partition.  I then installed successfully.  When I try to boot up after installation, I get a prompt to put in my encryption password (as expected), I then get the grub menu, but after that I get an error saying
Code: [Select]
Volume group "luks" not found
Am I approaching this correctly?  Is there a better way to get full disk encryption to work?

The approach is correct, but there might be some things to do afterwards regarding the naming - maybe the better approach is to edit the calamares settings and enable the default encryption and do a standard installation - never tested it.

Hmm, could it be that the latest XFCE-iso (16.02.2020) is somehow corrupted?
Tried to reinstall my laptop as encrypted system via Handy (Droid Drive) as well as via a DVD.
Calamaris installer gets rsync error after (at ca. 30%) a while and stops in both cases even after I downloaded the ISO again.
CLI-installer seems not be helpfull as it seens not to provide a needed EFI-Partition.

Will give it another try from an stick, if this doesn't help I will try another ISO.

Edit: happened also with the stick
Failed at unpacking /tmp/calamares. The errorcode from rsync was 11.
Trying now the KDE-ISO.

slackware => SuSE => kanotix => sidux => aptosid  => siduction

Tried with the KDE-ISO, got the same problem at around the same state of progress.
Might try now with the latest "official" XFCE-ISO.
