Disks cannot open local harddrive LVM (as Disk Utility did)

Booting on a Debian laptop with LVM LUKS it is not possible anymore to access the contents of the disk with Disks, the application that replaces Disk Utility.

Steps to reproduce:

- Boot Tails 2.0beta1 on a laptop with Debian LVM.
- Try to open the local hard drive

The Disks application allows me to Unlock the device, but then I get no ‘Play button’ to mount it.

Desired result:

Being able to mount it like in Tails 1.8.2 and before.
