Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Some new users try using a username with capital letters when installing Ubuntu. The installer should give a short error message, just like when you enter passwords which do not match. Currently, the only sign that something is wrong is that there is no checkmark next to the text entry box.
It would be even better if the text box automatically changed capital letters to lowercase as they are entered.
This is nothing big, but it is a small hurdle for new users who don't understand the rules usernames must abide by.

Better than giving an error message would be to lower-case capital letters automatically as they are typed.
