Title:
  Change of proposed computer name causes error

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  When installing Ubuntu 11.04, Ubiquity proposes a name for the
  computer, by which it will be identified on the network.

  Changing this name causes an error: supposedly "the name is already in
  use on the network". This error shows for each and every name you try!
  So there's no solution.

  As installation is already well under way at that time, this is quite
  a nuisance.
