Username starting with upper letter marked as OK during install and the refused

affects me too, as i described in this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/553967). The problem appear with every username, it seems that the green tick always appear, also when I type something like "andrea**./KKs", that of course can't be accepted

My Bug #658651 was marked as duplicate of this. However, in Ubuntu 10.10 this bug is a lot worse than what was discribed here for 10.04, since there is no warning what so ever of what causes the inability to finish the setup. You get a green tick beside the username but the next button is disabled.

Yes, I know. But nevertheless it's the same bug.

I started the previous question having not seen this one. Anyway, someone answered it yesterday, and I now have it installed. Works great and thanks to everyone involved for a lovely OS ;)

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.5.0

---------------
ubiquity (2.5.0) natty; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Log which package (albeit only the first one) caused us to declare
    language support incomplete.
  * Initialise release_notes_found in KDE prepare plugin, so that it doesn't
    break in oem-config mode (LP: #656983).
  * Re-enable alpha warning for natty.
  * Fix ubiquity.i18n.string_extended set creation syntax.
  * GTK frontend:
    - Display inline error messages for bad usernames, rather than just
      silently greying out the Forward button (LP: #555896).
    - Use gobject.timeout_add_seconds rather than gobject.timeout_add in a
      couple of places where the exact timeout period isn't critical.
  * Adjust for changes in base-installer 1.113ubuntu1.
  * Install new files from apt-setup 1:0.48ubuntu1.
