====== Install Ubuntu 20.04 with Full Disk Encryption ====== **Warning: It's critical that you do NOT reboot the installed system before copying the recovery key somewhere safe. Else it will get lost in the ether, never to be found again.** This requires a network connection during the installation so you have a place to copy the LUKS recovery key to. For the most part, you can proceed with the Ubuntu MATE installation as usual: select your languages and keyboard layout, Ubuntu standard install (un-select install updates during install to avoid getting ahead of our local mirror). Raw guide: * for the drive install page you gotta select "Erase disk and Install Ubuntu MATE" * Click advanced features * Select LVM * Select full drive encryption * Click Continue, then Continue again (be patient, the encryption setup takes a couple minutes to finish) * Enter s password for LUKS... do it again. * Check the save a key box * Click Continue * Finish installation as usual (timezone and user) * BEFORE YOU REBOOT: copy the /home/ubuntu-mate/recovery.key file somewhere * After the key is copied you can reboot and continue like normal with the Ubuntu install
