Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
RELEASE: Lucid Lynx
CD/DVD VARIANT: Kubuntu desktop amd64
ISO BUILD: 2010-02-24.1 and 2010-02-25
SYMPTOMS:
Ubiquity in Kubuntu lucid desktop from image:
"lucid-
not properly suggests default hostname to "-laptop-
It looks like it's getting in a loop... appending "-laptop" to hostname with every letter typed in username dialog box.
Ubiquity doesn't want to go later if I don't change hostname (because of "-" as first character) but it's OK to change it to something else and installer goes later.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Start the desktop cd
2. Choose "Try without installing"
3. From the live environment, start the installation
4. Go to the step to type user name, password and host name of the computer
5. Type anything in username dialog form

I've just tested 20100225 image and the problem still exists.
It's driven by typing username - after every letter written in username form the more "-laptop" strings are appended to hostname.
