Bug Description
Installing Kubuntu allows to partition the system manually choosing "Manual" in the disk setup dialog.
There you can add a new partition. When choosing the type "Volume for Encryption", nothing really happens. Normally the installer should ask for the password for the encrypted volume and then mount it, so it can be used as installation target. Instead it just shows as a crypto partition but the user cannot do anything with it.
Steps to reproduce:
- Use Kubuntu 19.10 installer on usb stick
- in disk setup choose manual (for manual partitioning)
- create a new partition with type "Volume for Encryption"
- What happens: Volume is created but user cannot set password or configure the volume's mount point
- Expected: Here you should somehow be able to enter the volume password for the new volume, then it should be mounted and then you can change the mount point for the installation
Importance: this does block a user from using the ui installer to setup an encrypted dual boot.
Workaround: use ubuntu installer to setup encrypted system and then install kubuntu-desktop
PS: Not sure if this is the right place to report
