hello cruel world

I have tried installing ubuntu 11.04 under and encrypted lvm, five times. I used this guide (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1205372). I completed installation five times, though with errors it seems.
Once booted, I am greeted with the user login and a black background. The mouse still works, but once I sign in I am greeted with the following errors:
1. Could not update ICEauthority file/home/[user]/.ICEauthority
2.There is a problem with config server [...] status 256
3. Nautilus could not create the required folder /home/[username]/.nautilus
I said fudge it, and was going to try installing 10.04 or 10.10 under encrypted lvm and just update it to 11.04 once I get the darn thing to work, but those alternates don't seem to work off of USB. They keep asking for a cdrom driver.
Ideally, I would like to figure out what packages I am missing, if any, and resolve this issue using command prompts. However, if someone can provide some assistance of any kind, I wont turn it down. This is driving me nuts.
If it matters, the computer is a triple-boot set us such:
partition1 - windows7
partition2 -extended
...partition3 - boot
...partition4 - crypto(lvm)
......partiton5 - swapubuntu
......partiton6 - rootubuntu
...partition7 -backtrax
partition8 - storage
No issues with grub loader, though. So I don't think the partitioning is the root of the problem. It has to do with the alternate installer, I am pretty sure. The installer encounters errors during install, with the 11.04 alt_64 version.
