[Autopilot Tests] Encrypted LVM install test failing due to swap being on

Bug Description

The test is failing due to a warning dialog popping up saying unencrypted data could potentially end up in the swap space and a suggestion is given to run swapoff before continuing the install.

What should we do here? We can either:

1) start the test run with swap disabled (not ideal)
2) try and test the dialog and it's contents follow it's advice and turn swapoff using a subprocess and try and continue with the install (alot more work).

I would edge towards the 2nd solution.

Thoughts anyone?

I tried an LVM encrypted installation over a blank disk and didn't see this dialog.
In which conditions is it displayed? Is it during an installation over a pre-existing installation with an existing swap?

Hmm that's odd. I can't seem to reproduce this now.

I was reliably getting this on Sunday and installation was over a blank disk using the autopilot test runner unmodified.
