Bug Description

I wanted to try to install 7.4 on an extra drive I have. It booted fine into the Live CD environment and I started the installation. I got to the step where I was naming the computer and setting my password. When I hit next, an italic word "The" came up all the way on the right hand side of the form and I was not able to continue installing.

My guess is that there is some error on the form but I can't tell what it is because the message is cut off. I'm sure that the passwords matched, I really don't know what the error might have been.

Sorry I can't be more helpful about what might have happened.

Thanks! You guys do great work.

A screenshot would be great; if you run the installer with 'ubiquity --debug' from a terminal window then /var/log/installer/debug and /var/log/syslog will be helpful too.

I'm afraid that there is nothing I can do about this without the requested screenshot or log files. If you (the original reporter) can reproduce this bug with a current release and can get me the log files, feel free to reopen this bug. (Anyone else reading this who believes they have a similar problem should open a new bug instead.)

I've just reproduced this thanks to another bug report. Reopening.

The error message is one of:

  The username you entered is invalid. Note that usernames must start with a lower-case letter, which can be followed by any combination of numbers and more lower-case letters.

or:

  The username you entered (${USERNAME}) is reserved for use by the system. Please select a different one.

ubiquity (1.4.7) feisty; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Set PARTMAN_ALREADY_CHECKED when committing changes from the new
    advanced partitioner, to avoid duplicate warnings (LP: #100009).
  * Use debconf escape capability to simplify migration-assistant summary
    handling.
  * Update Japanese keyboard layout handling to match console-setup
    1.7ubuntu18, which uses jp(latin),jp by default (LP: #63915).
  * Display an error dialog if a subsidiary process fails (LP: #92442).
  * Update translations from Rosetta.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: console-setup
    1.13ubuntu12, migration-assistant 0.4.5, partman-base 105ubuntu3.

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
  * KDE frontend
    - Disable all widgets in autopartition subchoices
      when selecting another parent choice
    - Fix misplaced widgets on user details page (LP: #86175)
    - Hide error messages from user info at start of each evaluation
    - Use Apport as crash handler when available
    - Add a graphical disk partition widget

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Catch exceptions in migration-assistant to avoid bringing down the
    entire installer.
