Package: bluez
Version: 5.49-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I was trying to change the default name of the device.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I edited the bluetooth/main.conf under the variable "Name ="
* What was the outcome of this action?
No change resulted after the restart of the service.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
That the new name became effective.
Please consider adding more details to guide the user in changing the default
name of device.
By default the name the of device is not BlueZ X.YZ when the hostname plugin is
loaded. The variable PRETTY_HOSTNAME is a resonable option for user but they
have to know where to configure it. So if you add the following lines above the
"Name = Bluez" in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf that would clarify the situation.
# Defaults to 'BlueZ X.YZ', if Name is not set here and plugin 'hostname' is
not loaded.
# The plugin 'hostname' is loaded by default and overides the Name set here so
# consider modifying /etc/machine-info with variable PRETTY_HOSTNAME=<NewName>
instead.
#Name = BlueZ
