> I'm using kubuntu alongside with windows in a dual boot, therefore I
> cannot use the full disk partition option. There is no option in the
> installer to get an encrypted kubuntu with windows (or any other OS)
> already installed on the same disk. There used to be an option to encrypt
> /home (up to 16.10 IIRC) but it does not exist anymore.
> I had to follow and adapt this tutorial
> http://blog.botux.fr/en/2015/09/ubuntu-installation-manual-full-disk-encryption-lvm-on-luks/
> to get my encrypted kubuntu.
> Is it a bug in the installer or a missing (important, as security
> related) feature?
