I want to install Sparky on a LUKS-encrypted LVM. I played around with Calamares for hours last night and couldn't figure it out. I add a new partition of type "lvm2 pv" with the Encrypt box ticked and then add a New Volume Group, but then the VG doesn't show up anywhere for me to add LVs into so I don't know how to proceed.
What I tried next was partition everything manually and mount the partitions, with a little cheat in the terminal I found online ("while true; do sudo vgchange -aay; done") to prevent Calamares from unmounting it. This resulted in what appeared to be a successful installation but on boot I was greeted with a grub error of "unknown filesystem".
What's the cheat code here? Have any of you figured this out with Sparky? I'm using Sparky 7.8 by the way, the last of the 32-bit line. Thanks in advance.
(On an unrelated note I would like to give a big thanks to the forum admins for not making it a pain in the rear to register from Tor using a non-bigtech email address. It's a rare experience these days, very refreshing and much appreciated! Definitely worth a donation in my book, if only there was a crypto address in here somewhere... hint hint)
