Mavrick Kubuntu ubiquity installer crash if system name is blank

[Ameet Paranjape]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Kubuntu DVD i386 (20100901)

Steps to recreate:
1.Double click on the Install icon
2.Once Ubiquity starts click on Forward
3.Select your language from the list and click Forward
4.Select your timezone and click Forward
5.Check your keyboard layout is correct or alter click Forward
6.Select Erase and use the entire disk and click Forward
7. Input your initial user details and password

If you enter in a user name and password, but the system name is left blank, the installer crashes.

Workaround: Enter in user name, password and a system name.

Just a warning or a request to enter a valid system name would be more appropriate behavior.

I will attach the requested files next

  * KDE frontend:
    - If the slideshow doesn't exist, hide self.ui.pageMode rather than
      self.page_mode (LP: #627549).
  * Set Debug::identcdrom=true for apt-cdrom if installing from a
    non-ISO9660 filesystem, since otherwise apt-cdrom will include the free
    blocks count of /cdrom in its database which is unreliable on read-write
    filesystems, especially USB images with persistence enabled. Thanks to
    Manoj Iyer for patient testing (LP: #627672).

  * Provides indicator-renderer (LP: #616165)

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Disconnect and destroy QSocketNotifiers when the dbfilter finishes.
    Thanks Colin Watson (LP: #625586).
  * add the check_hostname function back to ubi-usersetup (LP: #628317).
