I tried it again today with the Beta 2 of Xenial. These are the steps I did:

* Downloaded Beta 2 of Xenial and created bootable USB stick
* Select: Try Ubuntu without installing
  * (I tried the option to install directly but that always hangs after selecting "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" and clicking "install")
* Check: Download updates during installation
* Select: Erase disk and install Ubuntu
* Check: Encrypt my home folder
* After installation finished and a restart it asks for: Please enter passphrase for disk cryptswap1 on none!
  * I hit enter without entering anything (same result when entering the password of the user)

The relevant content of the requested files:

* /etc/fstab:

    /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0

    (This looks good using the device name instead of the UUID as before.)

* /etc/crypttab

    cryptswap1 UUID=xxx /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64

But the swap is still not enabled. `swapon -s` reports the following:

    /dev/nvme0n1p3 partition 33427212 0 -1

Any help to get this working is highly appreciated.
