Title:
  ubiquity crash when hostname is too long

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Here is the trace log in precise-updates.

  Exception in GTK frontend (invoking crash handler):
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-usersetup.py", line 394, in info_loop
     self.hostname_error(make_error_string(self.controller, errors))
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-usersetup.py", line 69, in make_error_string
     return "\n".join([controller.get_string(error) for error in errors])
  TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, NoneType found.

  After dig the source code I found the error was set wrong, without
  prefix 'ubiquity/text/', so that when use controller.get_string() it
  can't find the correct name and return None, after that the installer
  crash.
