screenshot: UI elements missing

Feeling a déjà vu? :) The other bug was the other way around: LVM on LUKS.

When the Mageia 3 installer tries to use a pre-existing partition on LUKS on
LVM, nothing happens and I get a display error (ui elements missing). Repeating the step leads to "cryptsetup failed". Manual luksOpen fails due to device "in use (already mapped or mounted)".

To reproduce:

1. Use a Live CD or some installed system to create an ext4 partition on LUKS 
on LVM.

2. Boot Mageia 3 installer. (I used current boot-nonfree.iso x86_64.)

3. Choose Custom Disk Partitioning.

4. Select mount point /boot for some unencrypted partition.

5. Click Use for the pre-existing ext4 partition and enter LUKS key.

6. Run bug /dev/sda1

Comment 2 Joe Shmoe 2012-11-25 00:15:38 CET 
In another attempt like the one above, I tried to cryptsetup manually before ever clicking on "Custom Partitioning".

I loaded a bunch of modules which I got from the report.bug. I got cryptsetup luksOpen to ask for the key, but then it silently returned to the command line. cryptsetup status showed the device as inactive afterwards.

A remark about the screenshot above: Never mind that it shows two volume groups from an earlier attempt. As the steps above show, I reproduced the bug with a single-vg setup.

Reproduced: same thing as in comment #1 happens when trying to create an encrypted partition on a fresh LVM in an updated cauldron x86_64 install.

Summary: Installer will not use pre-existing partition on LUKS on LVM => Diskdrake cannot handle LUKS on LVM

I think this bug still exists.. getting errors like it. As per bug #5661
Comment 6 Dave Hodgins 2013-03-17 19:09:05 CET 
I'll close this bug, as a dup of 5661.
