-I never experienced that. Are you sure there are no hidden fields at the bottom?
-would you mind telling us what you put in each field?
-if you are using a LiveCD, press ESC at boot when you have the screen with the two logos at the bottom. That should show you the boot menu. There is an option to test the CD, you should maybe use it to make sure your LiveCD (or USB) is valid
-Could be a bug in the installer... Then you can maybe consider downloading the alternate CD, there is no live desktop on this one, but only a text installer. Not as sexy, but it will install the system as well.

You are the tenth one since 10.10 delivery!
You probably entered a name with upper case characters, and Ubiquity didn't notify you the error.
In a user name, you can only use lower case characters and numbers.

Can you help with this problem?
