[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

When running the graphical installer (from the 13.0 iso), when it gets to
the disk partitioning bit, when I choose "automatic disk partitioning with
encryption" it doesn't create a swap partition. I freed the root space so
that I could create one myself, however when you choose "linux-swap" as
your file system type, all the options disappear. In particular, the option
to enable encryption is no longer available, so it seems the swap partition
is unencrypted by default and with no way to change it. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Imran

Thanks for the report.  Note that the 1.3.0 image is getting a bit old
(+1 year old).  We should cut a release sometime soon but in the
meantime you can try a development snapshot from the build server such
as this one [0] (by visiting to https://ci.guix.gnu.org/, then clicking
on "images", then on the last build ID on top, then on the 'display/PC
monitor' shaped icon, then on the circle corresponding to the desired
image type/architecture).

Your feedback on a development image would be welcome and help to adjust
before the release.
