Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
OS Version: Ubuntu 10.10
Package version: Ubiquity 2.4.8
Scenario: The user types an invalid username into the username field
whilst setting up their account during installation.
Expected result: Ubiquity alerts the user that they have typed an
invalid username and explains the problem which characters are valid.
What occurs: Uiquity is silent on the issue, stating "あなたの操作を待っている…"*,
when the user thinks that they have in fact done all that they can.
* "Waiting for your action", or some such.
Additionally: In my case it was because I used my name as a username,
which I naturally type with a capital "C". Surely if the only issue
with my suggestion was that usernames do not contain capitals, in that
case it should just accept my string but convert it all to lower case?
Effect of this bug: I stared at this "frozen" state for about half an
hour, clicking back and forth, emptying and refilling fields, etc.
During the course of Google searching for this problem, I found at least
one person who did not stumble upon the solution, stating that they
"could not install" Ubuntu 10.10 due to this behaviour.
** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
