I'm at the "Who are you?" part of the 10.10 install and i have filled in all the information.
But it will not let me click the forward button.

The message at the bottom reads "Ready when you are..."
I don't know what to do.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
the user name cannot start with an uppercase letter.

For example,

Your Name: John Smith

User Name: john not John

Also, the password needs to be at least 6 characters in length if I am not mistaken.

Good luck!

Thanks, it was my name that had a capital.

Might be your username has a character in it that isn't allowed ?

Try changing the username to something which all lower case letters,


Edit :
OK, too late :-)

This should definitely be shown as an error.

I've been using ubuntu for 3 years now and had no idea about this -> got me stuck for 15 minutes at this screen :).

I believe the new installers will show this as an error.
