If you select to install using LVM encryption, then it encrypts all of the ubuntu partitions.

You have to have both checked. If you mark to just do LVM, then it will just create the partitions. I apologize for not clarifying that in my earlier post.

O.K thanks for the help

That may be something one has to do when dual booting. I haven't dual booted for several years and when I did my system was too weak to handle encryption and be snappy. If not needed for a dual boot, then I honestly have no clue why someone would have to go that round about way of doing it.
