(Get the code!)
There is a sequence of events that can cause the Ubiquity installer in Hardy Herron (8.04) to loop at step 4, the partitioning step.
Steps to reproduce are:
1) Run the installer, click "Forward" until you get to Step 5, Who are you?
2) Enter all data correctly except for the "What is the name of this computer?" field - enter a name with an underscore (or presumably any other non-valid character) and press "Forward"
3) The installer will complain that the computer name is invalid.
4) Click "Back" to go back to Step 4, the partition editor
5) Press "Forward" - partition editor rescans the disk and step 4 starts again (this will happen every time you press "Forward", and happens regardless of what settings you choose for the partitions.)
My guess is the invalid variable is not cleared when "Back" is pressed, and there is a validation error when an attempt is made to re-insert the bad value into step 5, causing step 4 to repeat.
