Bug Description

I like to sometimes use Lubuntu images as live drives to do work with encrypted filesystems, however Lubuntu 18.04 and 18.04.1 images have a bug that makes this annoying: it is not initially possible to open a LUKS-encrypted disk from the file manager as it fails with "Error bd_crypto_luks_open_blob called but not implemented". To fix this requires first connecting to internet and then running:

    sudo apt install libblockdev-crypto2
    sudo systemctl restart udisks2.service

Hopefully in the next release (18.04.2), the package libblockdev-crypto2 will be included by default!
