Bug Description
This bug follows bug 1650782.
Media has been verified, no errors.
In the other bug the installer crashed after I manually partitioned the disk in a particular way through the setup program.
To try to workaround it instead of Install Ubuntu I selected Try Ubuntu.
Launched the setup from the icon and at the "how to install" I choose again "custom partitioning".
Created a standard "boot" partition from there and assigned to mountpoint /boot.
Then opened a terminal and created a luks partition an LVM volume inside it and three logical volumes
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo -i
root@ubuntu:~# pvcreate /dev/mapper/
Physical volume "/dev/mapper/
root@ubuntu:~# vgcreate lvm /dev/mapper/
Volume group "lvm" successfully created
root@ubuntu:~# lvcreate -L 10G lvm -n swap
Logical volume "swap" created.
root@ubuntu:~# lvcreate -L 15G lvm -n root
Logical volume "root" created.
root@ubuntu:~# lvcreate -l 100%FREE lvm -n home
Logical volume "home" created.

Went back to the setup program (which was opened at the custom partitioning page) I pushed back and next again (to open the custom partitioning page again).
In that page I could see the new volumes and assigned the mount points from there for home and root.
Then I clicked next and the setup finished copying files. Before, when trying to do the same partitioning within the setup, it crashed immediately after clicking on install (and that was already reported in bug 1650782)
