Ok, so the initial setting was from commandline and you
tried it at the end with the commandline. Good.

I did the formatting but I didn't tried the unlocking from the command line at the end (only after formatting and before the creation of the filesystem). At the end what I did (after luksClose) was that I disconnected and then reconnected the drive and Ubuntu automatically asked me for the passphrase (in a window similar to the one in the screenshot I had send before) and automatically unlocked and mounted the partition after that.

Thanks,
