I can also confirm this, 8.04.2 LTS ** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gnome-network After a fresh install of Dapper, the '/etc/hosts' file looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 computername ... If I rename the computer to 'newname' using 'System-->Administration-->Networking', the file looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost newname 127.0.1.1 computername Obviously, it should be: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 newname This causes all sorts of nasty problems. + Bugs reporting the same or similar : bug 48216 bug 239089 bug 229256 + bug 336261 - In 8.04 Rev.2 There are similar problems, after changing the domain, the entries are not correctly updated in the "hosts" and "hostnames" files. For details see bug 336261 - I added this here because these two bugs are very similar. + Also 8.04 r2 LTS is affected. ** Summary changed: - renaming computer does not work properly + renaming computer does not update hosts, hostnames ** Summary changed: - renaming computer does not update hosts, hostnames + renaming computer does not update correctly the files: hosts, hostnames -- renaming computer does not update correctly the files: hosts, hostnames https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48216 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
