I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 from the alternate CD.

It has an encrypted root and swap partition.

The root partition is visible in Nautilus as 'File Syste' icon.

There is another icon "216 GB Filesystem". If I click it says: Unable to mount 216 GB Filesystem. /dev/mapper/sda5_crypt is mounted.

Then there is another icon "6.1 GB Swap Space". If I click it it says: Unable to mount 6.1 GB Swap Space. Not a mountable file system.

How can I hide these last two icons?

Partition layout:

$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[sudo] password for eddyp:
