[Bug 546811] Re: Ubiquity in Lucid beta 1 does not correctly show warning dialog in user-creation step

[Phillip Susi]

This appears to be fixed.  You now get a message in red next to the box
saying that the name may only contain lower-case letters, digits,
hyphens, and underscores.

Title:
  Ubiquity in Lucid beta 1 does not correctly show warning dialog in
  user-creation step

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  When I try to use a username with "dots" like "name.name", ubiquity
  tries to refuse that, (it seems there is a new policy on username-
  characters compared to karmic which is discussed in other bugs
  anyway), however the warning dialog is only shown very briefly and so
  the user installing the system does not see what actually happens and
  why pressing "Next" does not move on.

  Furthermore the username has the check mark right besides it which
  indicates that it is fine, however the dialog still does not allow to
  enter such a username.

  Steps to reproduce:
  - start installation on hard disc using the Lucid Beta 1 ISO
  - click through to the dialog that allows to create a user
  - try to enter a user name with dots, e.g. "name.name"
  - check how the problem is reported
