Try to install with no encryption.

Try to install with no encryption.

Might work but disk encryption is very important for some people. Pls fix.

Alright but I always encrypt my partitions for security reasons

Probably to easiest way to fix this is to re-implement the calamares installer since in most cases it seems to encrypt everything flawlessly. Let the user choose between the tui or gui (calamares)

I don't have a good "relationship" with Calamares. It is not flexible from the point of view of the code. In my case encryption works. If you don't share any logs about your issue I cannot investigate.
