Title:
  11.04 install drives itself to an error on '!' in the name

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This is potentially a bug on the graphical add user interface. But i
  am unsure so i am reporting it without the package for now.

  During the installation of 11.04 i am presented with the option to
  create a user name. I type my name "VolodyA! V Anarhist" and it
  (without anything on my part) selects a username for me as "volodya!"
  and right away prompts me that the user name is incorrect.

  What i expect:
  The install process should not itself suggest a user name which it knows to be incorrect.
