Since the error is complaining about hostname error, can I ask what you entered for the full name of the user, what the hostname it suggested was, and whether you changed that?

Dave

[Valio Yolovski (vyolovski)]

For the full name of the user I typed "Valio" and for the hostname (the computer name box, right?) ...I cant remember but I think it was "Netbook".

[Dave Gilbert (ubuntu-treblig)]

Thanks Valio; ok that doesn't seem unusual. If anyone else hits this error please put the hostname they got offered or they put in.

Hi,

We were investigating this for Netrunner and Mint KDE. As it turns out it was identified in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1008255 and fixed in ubiquity 2.11.7.

The fix was made by Harald Sitter at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/ubiquity/trunk/revision/5519

Keep up the good work guys ;)
