Same here, I chose manual partitioning and it fails upon trying to create an encrypted partition.

The original issue appears to be some kind of problem with building the NixOS manual. Which is pretty surprising, but has nothing to do with encryption.

@Readf0x Your log indicates that cryptsetup is failing to make the encrypted partition somehow, but the calamares logs aren't showing whatever error message it gave... Regardless, it's a separate problem from @onny's.
