[Bug 1838693] [NEW] Computer name is saved incorrect when period is used

[Kalpaj Agrawalla]

Public bug reported:

When installing Ubuntu for the first time, in the prompt screen to enter
a username and a computer name, I tried this:

username: kalpaj_ag
computername: 19.04

However, after login the computer name displayed in terminal is 19

Under settings->details->about , the device name also shows 19
