Bug ID: 523299
Summary: Device name in KDE connect is not same thing as system
machine name
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: desktop-application
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
I've recently tried to pair two machines and while one showed the name I
expected, the other one was shown as "localhost-live", I've tried changing
hostname etc. but was still confused why it appears as such.
Until I've noticed that apparently, you can set "Device name" in the
application itself. Is there really a need to have separate setting for this?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair two computers using KDE connect
OBSERVED RESULT
Observe that one of them shows with unexpected name on the other machine
EXPECTED RESULT
Use either pretty name or static name or whatever else there is available from
hostnamectl. And if not using systemd it can just be hostname.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don't know why one of them had this weird name, as this system was setup
quite a time ago.
The other one with proper name was setup recently.
Still I think it should just use proper system way, instead of getting name
from its own settings.
