Could you explain what you mean by "it does not detect the partition
types of the two linux partitions"?

The normal behaviour is that the partitioner sees the partitions and the
existing file system in them but doesn't set a mount point for them and
the usage method is "don't use".  The user has to change "don't use" to
"format" or "use existing data" and to specify mount points manually as
the installer can not remember the mount points from your previous
install.
