Bug Description
Since Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, a minimal installation is possible with the Ubuntu installer. If I go for that and choose to encrypt the disk, I cannot change the password via the utility gnome-disks graphically afterwards.
Steps to Reproduce
1. install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (daily 20180420 and Beta 2 tested)
2. encrypt the disk, while going through the installer
3. after installation: Disks (3.28.1) » (highlight) Partition 3 with LUKS (open padlock icon) » (button with two cog-wheels) Options » Change Passphrase » …

Actual Results
“Error changing passphrase on device /dev/sda3: The function 'bd_crypto_
Workaround
