I have a new 1T drive installed in a Libem13v2.
bios-boot
LUKS volume /
empty space
Has anyone done this successfully?
The latest Live ISO installer is a fraught nightmare .
It seems that what’s possible is are the two options in the installation guide and absolutely nothing else.
I cannot :
create a 35G volume and format it to LUKS in manual install, mount /
create a 35G volume, format it to LUKS, mount it, target as ‘existing partition’
follow Advanced installation , but LUKS the root
follow default erase, install unencrypted, resize unencryped, create LUKS, restore resized image to LUKS, learn GRUB, configure grub, rebuild ramfs, chroot to install, grub-install
do anything whatsoever with any Logical Volumes.

Can you help with up to date docs and info?
I might just need a good resource for modern boot sequence tooling and options. This info space is a hot mess of outdated (maybe? (!?)) writing. Please say “go read this link ” (with, you know, useful stuff) because it will really help me.
I’m looking to accomplish the following on an upgraded (1G SSD) drive in a L13v2:
fresh PureOS install
other OS boots from this drive to play with (PureOS/byzantium ,Tails, Qubes, Kali, etc… I’m booting them fro…
I’m struggling to get a setup described here : New drive partitioning advice?
Can anyone explain the mounting process for the following ?
/root lives on an LV in a PV, in a LUKS container
What is the best way to get a GRUB handoff for boot? It’s failing miserably through a manual crtypsetup open /dev/sd# / mounting / chroot /mnt / grub-install (grub install is fine, boot can’t find the volume).
I guess I’m looking for the UUID relationship between GRUB, LUKS, LVM, fstab, and crypttab. grub-…

Yeah, I guess I’ve been banging my head needlessly and it’s made me frustrated. I do have an installer log from one freeze, which I’m happy to file. Waiting for approval.
I really just want to select the size of the partition created on a standard LUKS install. Just not the whole disk.
I guess I can jump on one or more of these as well or instead:May, 2019: T750 April, 2019: T751 April, 2019: T752 April, 2019: T778
For general interest, here’s some info on booting, LUKS, GRUB, their interactions etc.
If you see errors or have other good stuff, drop it in.
I currated this through my living hell here :
TERMS
BIOS: Basic Input Output Stream
EPROM: Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
GRUB: GRand Unified Bootloader
SEQUENCE
PureOS :
SeaBIOS
Lives on EPROM chip since it controls disks (can’t live on one), and needs acces pre-boot (can’t live in RAM)
GRUB
Lives one of many places ( boot block,…
Looks like the situation is similar to the one described in this post:
I have a Librem15rev3 which has a 512GB Samsung SSD as the only disk. The default installation of PureOS creates one large disk partition for the system and the /home-directories, plus a small /boot-partition and a swap-partition (if needed).
I would like to do the installation using (encrypted) LVM volume groups for the /root- and /home, and additional (standard-non-LVM) partitions for /boot and swap.
I have tried several ways using the PureOS-Live-distribution on a USB-Stick, but the only th…
What kind of disk is your 1T drive? I have a Samsung SSD 970 PRO, and got similar installer behavior like you.
