@Tomasz
Install using the Ubuntu Server CD image, which gets you the text-mode installer which has full support for encrypted partitioning. Then 'apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' to get a fully running desktop system
(since they stopped having separate kernel images for desktop and server there are no noticable differences between normal Ubuntu and Ubuntu Server, except of course that Server has the more flexible text-mode installer)
