I followed;
HowTo: Setup Ubuntu Desktop with LVM Partitions
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuDesktopLVM
to install Ubuntu. But it didn't start two options of "Try Ubuntu" and "Install Ubuntu"
Then I continued the installation without manual and came to the result as posted previously. Ubuntu was installed in about half space of the HD leaving the rest space for another Linux OS.
I made another round installing Ubuntu on the complete space of the HD. Then I was allowed to create LVM.
$ sudo fdisk -l
Code:

But still there is problem on "Disk /dev/mapper/lvm-root doesn't contain a valid partition table"

Edit:
I think I have to use "ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso" NOT "ubuntu-12.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso" The former would start two options of "Try Ubuntu" and "Install Ubuntu"
