Title:
  [Hardy] Kubuntu live CD installer can't install on unformatted LVM
  volumes

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I usuall install Kubuntu over LVM (possibly encrypted) using the live
  CD, because I find creating the LVM manually (would be nice if the
  live CD could include the lvm2 and cryptsetup packages, they're rather
  small and it would save me to "aptitude install" them each time and
  have to chroot to finish the install on the destination HD to add lvm2
  again...) then performing a "live CD install" is faster and easier
  rather than using the "alternate CD", so I first manually create the
  LVM and volumes and then install on it doing a normal "live CD
  install".

  I've found out that the Kubuntu live CD installer manual partitioning
  tool cannot install on LVM volumes (it doesn't properly recognize
  them) if they haven't been previously mke2fs'ed or mkswap'ped, but
  it's OK if they have been.

  Would be nice if the partitioning tool could recognized LVM volumes
  even if not populated with a filesystem (as it will mkfs them later on
  anyway)...
