[Desktop-packages] [Bug 962369] Re: Cannot set Device name (hostname) under Details section in System Settings on 12.04

2013-06-11 Thread Henry Lin
Appending the content of Bug #1190048  here, ignore me if its not useful 
1. I expected there's a pre-installed GUI utility in Ubuntu to change hostname.
2. I expected it appears in GNOME Control Center(a.k.a. System Settings) -> 
Details -> "Device name" textbox
* In fact there's really a "textbox" at the location but is not editable 
and there's no "Unlock" button at that view.
3. I expected if I run GNOME Control Center as root (gksudo 
gnome-control-center) I can change my hostname
* In fact when GNOME Control Center run as root, the "textbox" really 
turn's into editable, but edit the content still won't apply to the system 
temporarily nor permanently.
4. I supposed there's many user having the same conclusion like me, so please 
help ;)

Re-opening this bug since bug 1162478 was rejected for fixing for Ubuntu
13.04 so this fix was also reverted because it was incomplete.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-control-center -
1:3.6.3-0ubuntu20

---
gnome-control-center (1:3.6.3-0ubuntu20) raring; urgency=low

  * debian/gnome-control-center.pkla, gnome-control-center-data.install:
- Install a .pkla to allow admins to set the hostname. This can be dropped
  when Ubuntu includes policykit >=0.106 since gnome-control-center
  ships the updated rules already (LP: #962369)
  * debian/control.in:
- Recommend libnss-myhostname (LP: #1162475, #1162478)
  * debian/patches/62_update_translations_template.patch: Refreshed

That should be all you need to do Andy. You shouldn't have problems if
you set those there unless you have a DNS server, in which case you
should update those records too. Checks your /etc/nsswitch.conf file for
the "hosts" line and check it has "files" and "dns" in that order, then
your machine will use its /etc/hosts file before looking it up using
DNS.

As I recall, this is possible when booting from a live CD (or USB). Why
is it possible when booting live but not otherwise?

2012-04-29 Thread Andy Bovett
I'd also like to see this fixed. It is occasionally required, and is one
of the issues that makes Ubuntu seem less complete and mature. I assume
that the only way to do it at the moment is to edit /etc/hostname and
/etc/hosts. Anyone know otherwise? Also, I've seen rumours of minor
issues when this is done (can't remember exactly but someone said they
saw theold hostname hanging about somewhere). Anyone aware of anything
else which needs changing?

2012-03-23 Thread Sebastien Bacher
Thank you for your bug report, I think it has been reported before but I don't 
find it now, but a summary:
- changing hostname is not something user frequently do
- it can create issue, especially for the running session (that breaks xorg 
authentification tokens)
- the g-c-c interface required hostnamed from systemd which we don't use
