No problem there, just delete one occurance of each, if you haven't 
already, and you should be fine.

I would be willing to bet that "con registro" is the Spanish way for 
saying "journalled" which at the moment means it's unsupported entirely.

"data" must be a partition that you created with OS X which means that 
if OS X is calling it "UNIX" formatted then it's probably UFS which has 
very poor support in linux.

"UNTITLED" I'm guessing is your Ubuntu installation - no problems there.

"disk07s" is probably your swap judging from its size and location - 
again nothing to worry about.

So I would recommend reformatting the "data" partition to something like 
hfs, hfs+, or even fat32 since both OS X and Ubuntu will be able to 
access those filesystems.  If you go into Disk Utility in OS X you might 
be able to turn off journalling (con registro) for your OS X partition.

Hope that helps!
