[Bug 1878977] [NEW] Install crashes when asking for computer name

[Gene]

Public bug reported:

While installing 20.04 from CD, installer crashes. I'm installing with
ZFS option. The following screen asks for user name then computer name.
The crash occurs as the computer name is being entered.

The same CD was used to install on an older Dell system and all ran smoothly.
 Obviously since the install fails, there are no logs to attach.
I reasonably sure Apport reported sucessfully.
