I have just updated from the svn and when editing the billing address or the shipping address in the cart I get an error: 'vmError: Please enter your name.'

did you ever get this sorted out? I have the same error and tried on different browsers?

No sorry - I had to get a site on-line quickly and as I was struggling with the early release of VM I switched to another ecommerce package.
I will be starting a new site soon so I will give it another go.

yeah - i don't know what the problem is - I did a fresh install of joomla and only installed virtuemart to start and it still has issue swith saving the currency and the additional details.

Seems you are the only one with this problem. Did you tried to install the samples? Did you read the wiki, the manual? http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki

I've still got the "Please enter your name" error and the username and pass fileds are missing. I read all of the related posts but didn't find the answer yet.
I have:

a clean install of Joomla! (2.5.4) and VM2 (2.0.6.)
as by default all necessary user fileds published and editable (read only set to no)
using default beez template and VM layout set to deafult

Thanks for any idea!

MAx, I can confirm the same trouble. We too have switched off the standard registration

I had this problem, then i realized that there are required fields in the other tabs. I was getting the error specifically where you enter your vendor / currency info. You have to enter info into all the required fields on all the tabs of the config pages... maybe this is not the same problem, but hopefully it helps someone

This is an error which comes due wrong shopperfield configuration or an old layout override.

I am also getting "Please enter your name" error on registration during checkout (Joomla 2.5.9 & VM 2.0.18a). I have found that this is happens when you don't enter Displayed Name which is required but there is no asterisk ("star" symbol) to indicate it... thus confusion...
