Comments/Problems:
Chose third option on filesystem partitioning and creating: LVM+encryption; chose to install everything in one partition (beginner's recommendation); everything fine this far.
Was asked for encryption of swap file. Chose "yes" for encryption. Got asked for entering key. On that screen I changed my mind - did not want to use swap encryption. I chose "go back" (or what soever it is in the English version). Error: The screen with the choise "Swap encryption yes or no" (something alike) did not come up. Instead install continued (with now undefined values for encryption of swap?) and died at 82% when writing "uswp... something". Did not recover for 50 min. Terminated install. System did not look bootable. 


With best regards,
Artus

I've tried reproducing this bug, but no luck. After a review of 
the relevant code I'm fairly certain that this should be caught by
the existing checks for unencrypted swap. There is not much else
we can do without more information, so I'm closing the bug.
