    Unable to manually encrypt partition during installation in Kubuntu

    I am trying to install Kubuntu 20 and on Disk Setup i select Manual, then i create one boot partition and one root partition. For the root partition i then select 'physical volume for encryption', but nothing happens. It doesn't ask me to set a password or anything. If i click 'Install Now' also nothing happens.

    If i create three partitions - boot, home and root, and i try to encrypt home and root partitions installer crashes. This installer is absolute garbage.

      How are you even doing this? What options do you select?

      I am trying to solve a similar problem: Install an encrypted Kubuntu without using the entire disk. I cannot find any options in the installer that let me do this.

        I found a couple of useful links:

        * https://help.ubuntu.com/community/En...e_Directory.3F

          There is no options to encrypt just he /home in Ubuntu since at least 18.04, so it has to be done manually, after installing

          It is not really very difficult to do.
