Encrypting hard drives without reinstalling Ubuntu
===================================================
Gijs van Tulder, 26.02.2019, last update 04.03.2019

This is a list of the steps I took to encrypt the partitions on my
Ubuntu 16.04 laptop with the LUKS encryption system. Encrypting the
partitions took some time but was relatively easy. Getting the system
to boot afterwards was a little trickier, but doable.

Obviously, these steps might not work for you. Follow them at your

preshing

#! /bin/bash
set -e
trap 'previous_command=$this_command; this_command=$BASH_COMMAND' DEBUG
trap 'echo FAILED COMMAND: $previous_command' EXIT

# This script will download packages for, configure, build and install a GCC cross-compiler.
# Customize the variables (INSTALL_PATH, TARGET, etc.) to your liking before running.
# If you get an error and need to resume the script from some point in the middle,
# just delete/comment the preceding lines before running it again.
