Idea #1857: setup encrypted LVM from Live CD

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #22860: Allow whole disk encryption from Ubuntu Desktop installer.
Written by twright the 29 Feb 08 at 21:43. Category: Installation. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
it would be nice if the Live CD could be used to easily setup as system with encrypted LVM; currently this can only be done using the alternative install CD. This would greatly help users protect their data and privacy.

Yes but by using a "hidden" installaton program instead of the current version of ubiquity.
Or maybe by checking a checkbox saying: "I want to manage poweruser options" on the first step.

I definitely agree that an encrypted installation should be a standard, maybe even recommended option.

encrypted LVM is really easy to use and it transparently protects your data, i know that OSX has a similar option (but only for home directories)

ideally it should be one of the guided options, but it can cause some issues with duel boot's (if you want to use gparted later) so that may need to be tackled first.

encouraging users to protect their data is a great idea, especially for laptop users

Idea #1857 needs to be marked as a duplicate of #22860 not #23
