    Don’t think that’s possible. The installer of the edition of Ubuntu you used does not support disk encryption.

    If you want encryption, use the Alternate Installer edition. With that, you can encrypt Swap and every other partition you want to encrypt.

    These two articles, http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/09/home-directory-and-full-disk-encryption-in-ubuntu-11-04/ and http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/10/how-to-install-ubuntu-11-04-on-an-encrypted-lvm-file-system/ tell you what you need to know about disk encryption in Ubuntu.
