13.04 installation has damaged my luks partition

Asked by Hugo Melo

Some days ago I've installed ubuntu 13.04 beta2 release on a clean partition I had.

I've chosen in the installer to not touch my home partition as it's encrypted and I doubted it would not understand that.

I chose the root partition and asked to encrypt my swap partition.

After installation I couldn't open my home partition any more. It keep saying:

  hugo@scare:~$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/ubuntu/home home_crypt
Device /dev/ubuntu/home is not a valid LUKS device.

I don't know what the installer thought about my partition but I expected it to not touch that.
I am still trying to not go crazy about it but I didn't have the luks partition header on my backups and I have almost zero hope on recovering that. I just expect it to be fixed in a near future.

It seems ubuntu installer still has little support for lvm+luks partitions on installer.

I suggest you report a bug. Raring is not ready and not stable.

Can you help with this problem?
