This bug is still present in Saucy Salamander (13.10) and affects Trusty
Tahr (14.04) after upgrading from a previous release.
In addition to that in 14.04 there is no way to override the name
specified in /var/lib/bluetooth/$ADDR/config through the GUI tools so I
have created
This is an important bug, Mathieu.
All my bluetooth Ubuntu computers are named Ubuntu-0.
Couldn't we have them all named Bruce to avoid confusion?

To permanently change the adapter device name using a bluez tool we have
to use DBus to set the name using org.bluez.Adaptor.SetProperty which
is handled by set_name(), which results in a call to adapter_set_name()
which in turn calls write_local_name().

Ubiquity bug #644198 Ubuntu LIve Cd does not enable bluetooth before
choice menu in live-cd comment #16 introduced the naming issue by
coping the live environment from /var/lib/bluetooth/ to
/target/var/lib/bluetooth/. The pertinent parts of the change are:

I've noticed than when sending a file from my laptop to my android phone
through bluetooth, my phone sees my laptop as the hostname I
configured.
But when I take a look at the info about the file I just transfered,
it's says ubuntu-0. Not sure if it's something on my phone because of a

For the issue with /etc/bluetooth/main.conf; please see bug 837196.
I'm curious, is the file /etc/hostname properly containing mypc rather
than ubuntu?
I just can't begin to comprehend where this name would come from

You may consider mypc as the name I gave to my system. I've changed
the hostname during the installation, so in /etc/hostname, it's mypc

it. The problem is, it seems bluetooth setting in Ubuntu 12.04 somehow
ignores this
Well, I tried the PRETTY_HOSTNAME in /etc/machine-info. It works now.
Seems bluetooth will read that file or something? I don't really
understand how these things work. Most importantly, for now, it solved
the problem. But I still hope there is some formal way to change the
name.

I believe I may have found something.
After searching through the whole filesystem I came across this
directory: /var/lib/bluetooth
This containes folders to watch appears to be related to my bluetooth
module, specifically, this file caught my attention:
Good news everyone, after changing that value to the hostname I wanted
