LVM volumes can not be removed in manual partition screen

[Stefan Bader]

Testcase: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1471/info
Hardware: KVM-VM

Incidentally the virtio disk I used had a LVM install present. When selecting "other" and entering the manual partitioner, it is not possible to remove the LVM volumes. Only the "change" button becomes active, not the remove "-" one.

Can be worked-around by going back to the "meets pre-requisites" screen, then manually removing (on one of the VTs) the VG and purging the PV signature. Then returning to the partitioner.

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

correct, there is no support for LVM in the manual partitioning. I believe there is a prior bug about this already. Thus this is a duplicate.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Luis Henriques (henrix)]

I know this won't add too much, but I failed to delete a "physical volume for encryption" while executing this test case. (BTW, its really annoying not being able to use LVM on manual partitioning).
