| xnox | mpt: in the LUKS encryption for the manual partitioner we simply have the password fields. | 13:51 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | but the alternative installer exposes many encryption options | 13:51 |

| xnox | e.g. key size, encryption & IV algorithms. | 13:51 |
| xnox | typically there is no reason to change them. | 13:52 |
| mpt | xnox, dude, now you tell me? :-) | 13:52 |
| * xnox sorry | 13:52 | |
| xnox | now the question is shall I keep the current design. | 13:52 |
| xnox | Or do it "LVM" style | 13:52 |
| xnox | e.g. Add a button "Encrypt volumes.." | 13:53 |
| xnox | and do something like: pick a volume to encrypt, pick settings & password. | 13:53 |
| xnox | and go back to the usual screen. | 13:53 |
| xnox | and treat the encryped volume as a normal disk, with no other changes =/ | 13:53 |
| xnox | or | 13:54 |
| xnox | use your design, and not expose the encryption options. | 13:54 |
| xnox | the caveat there is "support for legacy system / keep encryption options the same as installs from ages ago for _compatability_" | 13:54 |
| xnox | mpt: sorry for spoiling your Monday. But it's just something to think about. | 13:56 |
| xnox | tbh. these encryption settings can be preseeded & i like your design. | 13:56 |
| mpt | xnox, I probably won't have time to look at it until Thursday, but feel free to add an "Encryption Options…" button to the "Add Partition" and "Change Partition" dialogs, which opens a secondary dialog with fields for those. Then we can tidy up the fields after Feature Freeze. | 14:00 |
| xnox | mpt: ok. Passwords in the encryption options... or not? I'd rather people not go there. | 14:02 |
| xnox | mpt: ditto erase available space first. | 14:02 |
| xnox | cool thanks. | 14:02 |
| mpt | xnox, separately, send me (or put in the spec directly) a description of each of the parameters, what the default is, and what the other options are | 14:25 |
| xnox | ok. | 14:25 |
