LVM Encryption Install broken in Plasma ISO
Open, HighPublic

Description

I downloaded the latest plasma ISO from patreon (slightly less broken). I installed as normal, wiping the entire drive and selected the LVM encyption option during install. When I restarted the system wouldn't boot.

I tried again using legacy instead of UEFI and the same thing happened but instead of booting it went to grub rescue. I tried to access the hdd but it couldn't recognise the filesystem of the encrypted drive.

I then tried to install using UEFI again but with no encryption and everything went fine, it booted into Solus Plasma.

Removing "Security" tag since this is really just an Installation issue.

Is this still an issue with the latest ISO? I have successfully installed EFI full encryption via qemu with it.

Not sure if it's the same problem but here's what I have tested:

Installation of Solus Plasma with latest testing ISO:

  • installation to internal disk with encryption in bios mode: OK
  • installation to external usb disk without encryption in bios mode : OK
  • installation to external usb disk with encryption in bios mode : failed at lvm encrypted partition creation

I have successfully installed Solus Budgie (v3 ISO) in the past on an external USB drive with encryption.
