Utopic: Cannot install with "full disk encryption" in Utopic

[GizmoChicken]

After attempting to install Utopic on a laptop using the “full disk encryption” option, I am unable to get past the full disk encryption log in screen on first boot. Thinking that I possibly specified the wrong password during the initial installation, I attempted to reinstall Utopic, again using the “full disk encryption” option, but was once again unable to to get past the full disk encryption log in screen on first boot.

As a check on whether the problem is with the laptop itself, I installed Utopic on the same laptop WITHOUT selecting the “full disk encrytion” option. So long “full disk encrytion” option is NOT selected during setup, Utopic boots up just fine on this laptop. However, like in the past, cryptsetup wasn't being installed by default, and so, to access an external LUKS partition from this laptop, I had to install cryptsetup on this system.

As another check on whether the problem is with the laptop itself, I installed Trusty, but once again using the “full disk encryption” option. With Trusty on this laptop, I am able to get past the full disk encryption log in screen on first boot, and full disk encryption works just fine on this laptop. Also, in this case (with the “full disk encryption” option being selected during Trusty setup), cryptsetup was installed by default.

QUESTION: Is cryptsetup scheduled to be installed (as it must be to enable access to a LUKS encrypted disk) when the “full disk encrytion” option is selected during setup of Utopic? If not, that might explain why I can't get past the full disk encryption log in screen on first boot. (I'd check it, but without being able to boot the system, I don't know of any easy way to do so.)

This issue in 14.10, whatever its cause may have been, seems to have been fixed in the final release.
