Summary0004945: 2018.3 does not allow encrypted persistence on USB
Description

Using the documented steps to create a bootable USB drive with encrypted persistence no longer works with the 2018.3 iso. Following the same steps does work for 2018.2 and earlier.

When selecting the encrypted persistence option at boot user is never prompted for luks password.

I fixed this with an updated live-build-configuration:
http://git.kali.org/gitweb/?p=live-build-config.git;a=commitdiff;h=cab92ee094babe77ee8b5cc10e2747da9bff3daf

But this will not fix the already released ISO, it will just fix the future daily and weekly ISO.

@elwood, do you think we should update the released ISO with a 2018.3a release?

@rhertzog, Yes, its likely best we should do an updated ISO. I think there are enough people that only ever use the release ISOs that if we don't it will cause a lot of issues until the next release.
