For the easy win we could set windowExpanding: fullscreen in the branding.desc file to force calamares into full screen mode.

I think we have to seed some of the extra packages.

As linked in T36: Fix full disk encryption on BIOS systems, we have functioning FDE on BIOS again.

Could someone test the package from -proposed on an EFI system and see if there's still the same results as before?

It looks like we already have ufw installed. I checked the live iso and did a fresh install, it was present on both.

How is it handled by ubiquity? They should have the same problem.

My research has led me to this issue reported in Calamares. Basically there was a change to cryptsetup to default to LUKS2. LUKS2 and GRUB2 don't play well together. Which thing do we patch or do we abandon LUKS for now? @tsimonq2 @wxl what are your thoughts on this? Do you think I am on the right track here so far?

There is but I didn't test that, it said it was unsupported :P I will give it a try though.

This is going to take some more code spelunking. Adding - file # To swap file instead of partition (unsupported right now) didn't get presented in the dropdown.

This does look super easy to implement now, there are even options for the size of swap that a user wants to implement. In the partition.conf module we would need to change neverCreateSwap: true to neverCreateSwap: false and then add:

userSwapChoices:
    - none      # Create no swap, use no swap
    - reuse     # Re-use existing swap, but don't create any
    - small     # Up to 4GB
    - suspend # At least main memory size

I tested this in Vbox from a daily iso and it seems to work as advertised with the exception of reuse, I wasn't able to see that as an option but perhaps I was doing something wrong. Any insight on this @tsimonq2?

Thanks to @wxl here is a link to the bug
