Bug Description

I wonder whether that is correct LVM starts before LUKS disk decryption. Becuase of that the client see the message of non existing vgubuntu.
Not sure whether that is expected behaviour.

boot.log attached. And screenshot.

This is normal behavior. The initramfs cannot know in which order the devices need unlocking or if any need unlocking at all.

It starts trying lvm2 and to unlock cryptsetup, and that will make the devices appear and boot continue.
