This might also be a dup of bug 1196397. I will test it today. Currently I'm downloading the Fedora 22 Workstation Alpha again. I will update the package suggested in bug 1196397, the python-blivet package, and try the installation process again. Will report if the bug is fixed or not, and change the status accordingly. Greetings Jasper For some strange reason python-blivet doesn't appear in my updates list. So I'm unable to test this solution. Is this package still present in the latest updates-testing repositories. Or do I have to check again regularly. Greetings Jasper Another user experienced a similar problem:

Can you try this with Beta TC7 and report back? http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/22_Beta_TC7/Workstation/x86_64/iso/ Looks like a duplicate. Different format, luks not swap, but same problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1196397 *** |
Description of problem: The error occurred in the "creating luks on /dev/mapper/fedora-root" step of the Fedora 22 Alpha installation. I tried to install Fedora 22 Alpha, over a Fedora 21 Workstation installation, which was also LUKS encrypted with a passphrase. In the start of the installer I chose for "Nederlands" (Dutch) as installer language, but I also experienced this with the English installer. Upto the Fedora Installation drive detection, I simply follow the installer options without any problems. When I have to choose a drive to install Fedora 22 Alpha onto, I tick the options to custom partition and to encrypt the harddrive again. In the custom partitioning I first click on the encrypted harddrive, which I have to open up with my passphrase. Once opened up, I can see the installer detects the Fedora 21 installation. I choose to reformat almost all partitions, except the /home partition. When I accept my partitioning changes, I have to give in the new encryption passphrase, which I choose similar as the old passphrase. After accepting all changes, the installer starts to partition the new installation, and while busy the installer crashes with this error.
