[Bug 1008255] Re: Instillation crashes mid instillation upon pressing continue of account details setup,

[Rienk de Vries]

Thanks Harald !

Your remark triggered the solution for me. I had the same issue when installing, the errors in lines #957 and #806.
First this happened when trying to install a 32 bit Kubuntu 12.04 from a USB stick, and today again when trying to install a _x64 Kubuntu 12.04 from a cd. (at first I thought I had a corrupted image or download)
 
I guess the User Menu does not like spaces. At first, when filling in my full name (Rienk <space> de <space> Vries), and also a computername containing a space, the installer will crash. I assume because the installer sets the hostname by taking whatever one puts in the computer name field, and when there is a space there, one will wind up with an invalid hostname.

Right now Kubuntu is installing, after having filled in those textboxes
without using any spaces.

Cheers,
Rienk
