Ubuntu 10.10 won't finish installing

[dmeisegeier]

Hi,

I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 from a USB boot and think I got most of the way but it stopped at the “who are you? page. This is where I enter my name, computer’s name, user name and password. I entered that information but the “forward” button is not clickable at this point, only the “back” so I can't complete the install.

I saw 3 warnings and 1 error in the log at the bottom of the screen. I have provided the messages below. Note, where you see ??? it means it looks like there was more text but it went off my screen and I couldn't read it.

(1)

self.install_progress.set_fraction(fraction)

ubuntu ubiquity[2720]: debconffilter_done: ubiquity.component???nstall (current: ubi-usersetup)
THAT WAS THE LAST LINE


Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Well, I found the solution on another thread - I had used an upper case letter in my user name and apparently you can't do that. I switched to make them all lower case letters and voila - the "forward" button highlighted, I clicked it and the install went perfectly.
