'Roughly three weeks ahead of the scheduled release of Ubuntu Linux 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish" -- is now available for download.
Looking through the Ubuntu 18.10 manifest<http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.10/ubuntu-18.10-beta-desktop-amd64.manifest> I do not find ecryptfs<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECryptfs> (home based encryption) which had been included with the Ubuntu distributions from 9.04 through to 17.10. Nor is fscrypt<https://github.com/google/fscrypt> (home based encryption) included. Fscrypt has been rumoured<https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029249/how-to-encrypt-home-on-ubuntu-18-04/1031509> as Ubuntu's replacement for ecryptfs, once they get the bugs out of fscrypt. However the manifest does include Cryptsetup<https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup> ... Cryptsetup is utility used to conveniently setup disk encryption based on DMCrypt kernel module. These include plain dm-crypt volumes, LUKS volumes, loop-AES and TrueCrypt (including VeraCrypt extension) format. cheers, Ian.
