Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: user-setup
As i was installing my ubuntu, I found out, that i am not able to use my native
username "m_ax". So I continued installing with username "max". Than I changed
my login in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group to m_ax. But even when I
open "Users and Groups" from Administration menu, edit my(m_ax) preferences,
and click OK, I get error: Username have invalid characters.
Before I was able to switch to "m_ax" name, i also tried adding line:
NAME_REGEX="([a-zA-Z][_a-z]+){2,}"
to /etc/adduser.conf
After this step, I was able to add usernames with underscores "_" to names, but
gnome "Users and Groups" still not in friedship with me :(
