In 12.10 Beta 2 Ubiquity offers to preform an installation using LVM (with encrypted option). Unfortunately it does not give the ability to recover a current LVM system. Under the "Something Else" disk formatting selection, it sees my encrypted LVM as well as my LUKS partition as "unknown".
Ideally it would allow side by side as well as recovery options (such as reinstall while preserving /home).

First bug: no way to activate existing lvm/luks partitions. Workaround start a live session and assemble those by hand (double clicking on the disk icon).
Second bug: "Ideally it would allow side by side as well as recovery options (such as reinstall while preserving /home)." is a duplicate of bug 1046779 and it is "WON'T FIX", as automatic partitioning recipes in these case are ambigious (do you want side-by-side inside crypt, inside lvm, resize lvm volumes or add new volumes. And some of these operations are currently not supported by the underlying partitioning technology - partman.)
