Bug ID: 458971 Summary: Add a section in system settings "About This System" page to change device\host name of the computer Product: systemsettings Version: 5.24.6 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: s.snide...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 151967 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=151967&action=edit Example of the device name from Ubuntu and tool tip example SUMMARY I have noticed that there is no GUI way to change the computer\machine\Host name or even view the name in KDE Plasma. This is a basic function that is even implemented in Gnome settings. This would be a great addition for user friendliness and an UI improvement. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. There are no steps to reproduce as this is a feature request. EXPECTED RESULT I think this computer name change feature could be simply added to the "About This System" page. It can be setup exactly like the Hardware and Software sections are setup. The header would be called "Device Name" and under it an editable box with the current device name. One name is inputted prompt for reboot if required. Additional as a tool tip, when you hoover over the editable box a tool tip should appear explaining that this sections changes the name of the device and the new name will be how it appears throughout your network and a reboot may be required.
