Any downsides to installing Kubuntu using ubiquity-frontend-gtk?

[CorsairFreak]

Due to a bug in the Kubuntu installer (ubiquity-frontend-kde) it's impossible to install Kubuntu to an encrypted volume using the manual partition method. Apparently this bug has existed for years. So I installed ubiquity-frontend-gtk on a Kubuntu 18.04 live session and was successfully able to install Kubuntu to an encrypted volume using the manual partition method. Does anyone know if this could cause any problems? It's ran fine so far in VirtualBox, but I thought it'd be a good idea to ask the experts here before I commit to this method and install it on hardware.

Here's the commands I ran in case someone else wants to try it:

sudo apt-get install ubiquity-frontend-gtk
ubiquity

Hey...great post...and it does work but...

the old woodsmoker is just a hardware kinda guy...not very smart...

a) download the .iso
b) format the desired hard drive or the usb stick to the extension of preference
c) install to "use the whole hard drive"
this works for usb
d) if one wants to encrypt it then encrypt it...
