As per suggestions here:

• Tweaking Lenovo IdeaPad S12 setting it up for dual booting

Gparted was used to shrink the big sda2 partition to make way for Linux.

Then these notes to encrypt the space for Linux:

• Ubuntu Netbook with fully encrypted disk

Fix for boot splash and framebuffer resolution.
