Hi,

Sorry for taking so long to reply.

What you have there looks ok to me.

I'm not sure whether 'not active' is correct for the crypto partitions.
There should be a second group created on the partitioning screen for
each crypto partition, where you can choose the filesystem type
to over the crypto, and the mount point than it corresponds to.

If you don't see this then I believe that you need to select
the 'Set up cryptographic partitions' or similar option from the top
of the screen.

Thanks,

James
