I'm quite sure that there were no other computers on the network with that name. As a matter of fact, it was my home network and all of my other computers have different names. And they were all switched off at the time.
I tried about twenty different names, quite random ones in the end. Only characters and figures, no weird symbols or spaces. Nothing was accepted. Until I used a random name with a dot in it, which was thankfully accepted (yay!) so I could go on. I was able to change this nonsensical name afterwards in /etc/hosts without a hitch.... I hope you can fix this before Natty final ships. A bit late in the day, but there's definitely something wrong in Ubiquity's computer name checker. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760884 Title: Change of proposed computer name causes error -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
