Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
In Ubiquity (here KDe version, but should be the same in GNOME) the name that
is set automatically here is "christian-System-Product-Name", so it seems to be
%username%-%hostname%.
But this hostname or system-product name is not retrieved correctly.
There should be a check if it is retrieved correctly, and if not, give
it a default name, but not "System-Product-Name", maybe "computer" or
"laptop", depending on system, if that's possible.
Most computer-untrained persons (like Bobs mum or Alice's Grandfather
:-) ) leave this text like it is, and "Alfred-System-Product-Name" is a
VERY unpretty name for a computer ;-).
