Installer frozen, stuck at 100% CPU every time I enter 'Your name' #2392

Still happening with noble 20231124, but exactly the same USB stick installs successfully on a Lenovo and on an HP. So I think the bug is rare enough to remove the critical tag. |

I had the same issue, but installing using only essentials worked for me. |

Still happening in noble 20240125. Looks like there's some infinite loop in how "Your name" influences "Your computer's name". |

Hilariously, booting the installation that froze part way through gives me an unthemed blue default GNOME initial boot experience. And following it through works. I get an Ubuntu installation in the end. Minus the hostname because GNOME doesn't ask for that. Theory: Is this what happens if the install finishes in the background so fast you haven't entered your account details yet? |

Workaround! Just enter your computer's name before your name. There's something broken in the computer name field if you let it auto-populate (see also #2394 so maybe a buffer overrun?). |

Confirming the workaround after experiencing the very same things on my Surface Laptop 3 😉. Thanks! |
What happened?
On a Surface Laptop 4, every single time I try to install Ubuntu 23.10(.1) it freezes while I type my full name under 'Your name'.
The
ubuntu_desktop_installerprocess is stuck at 100% CPU. It seems to be both the primary thread and theio.flutter.uithread that are both using 100% CPU.What was expected?
I can install Ubuntu.
Steps to reproduce
Boot Ubuntu 23.10 from USB. Seems every install option I try results in the same bug and the only common factor is the laptop (Surface Laptop 4).
Workaround
Fill in "Your computer's name" before "Your name".
