I'm installing Ubuntu Desktop 11.04 beta 1 in a VM, and it tells me "ubuntu" "already exists on the network". Unlike other people, "ubuntu2" works. Where is this information coming from? No computer on this network except some inactive VMs are called "ubuntu".
It's useful to know if any other computers have called themselves "ubuntu", but other machines on the network should _never_ be able to prevent the installation from proceeding. This is a denial of service flaw. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/738732 Title: Name already exisits on your network in "Your computer's name" in "Who are you" page even when this is random text -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
