Bug Description

Quantal Desktop 20120903.4

During an attempt of an installation in French, I choose 'encrypt Ubuntu', the 'Choose a security key' screen only showed the text at the top of the page. The form below was hidden (fields and text) , making the installation impossible to continue.

I got this case once and haven't found a way to reproduce it yet.

Screenshot attached.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Something Else
2. Open one of "Edit Partition" or "Add Partition" dialogs
3. Go way back to the ask page
4. Select Encrypt & wipe/install options
5. Result as per screenshot

This is due to trying to hide crypto UI in the manual partitioning.
Workaround is to restart ubiquity.

Did you, perhaps, go to manual partitioning -> came back -> tried to do encrypted install again?

I really can't find a way to reproduce it. I'm setting to incomplete until I find a reliable test case or let it expire otherwise.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.11.31

---------------
ubiquity (2.11.31) quantal; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Buffer reads from debconf-copydb. Python 3 defaults to unbuffered reads
    from byte streams, which is much slower.
  * Port oem-config-remove-gtk to Python 3, now that
    python3-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets exists; the final piece!
  * Remove Python 2 support. We aren't going back now.
  * Remove the rest of the long-dead PS3 port.

  [ Dmitrijs Ledkovs ]
  * Allow going from the encryption key setup page, to the disk space
    allocation page. (LP: #1046323)
  * Correctly apply styles to the title & progress sections and not the
    centre piece. This means themes are no longer required to provide non
    standard @dark_[fb]g_color colors, instead 'menubar' Gtk CSS style is
    used. This also fixes long standing a11y issues in HighContrast themes
    & requirements for non-standard color definitions. (LP: #744283)
  * Make lables in the segmented bar use the same colours as normal labels.
  * Changing the "Add/Remove/Change Partiontion" buttons to mixed
    symbolic/text buttons should make the screen comply with Ubiquity
    Design spec ( http://goo.gl/Kokw5 ) and address confusion about the
    updated screen. (LP: #1045799)
  * Fix the disappearance of crypto password field (LP: #1045716)
  * Fix misallignment of crypto password fields (LP: #1045712)
  * Make setup security key page go back to ask page (LP: #1045698)
  * Remove powerpc/ps3 low-memory profile, as it doesn't do anything any
    more. gnome-session-remove command is no longer present, and the init
    processes it tried to stop no longer exist under those names. We do
    want a low memory profile, which ubiquity-only mode now.
  * ubiquity-wrapper: Add support for udisks2 inhibit, drop devkit-disks
    inhibit. (LP: #719338)
  * Prevent progress label to expand & shrink the window (LP: #1046241)
  * Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
    1.122ubuntu9.

  [ Dylan McCall ]
  * Fixed slideshow_get_available_locale missing new locales in
    extra_slides_dir. (LP: #1046511)
